Edgar Rice Burroughs

Efficiency Expert, written by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1921, follows Jimmy Torrance, Jr., a recent college graduate struggling to find employment despite his athletic prowess and support from friends and a wealthy love interest. Set in contemporary America, primarily in Chicago, this short novel stands out as one of Burroughs' few works that does not delve into fantasy or exotic locales. Its focus on the challenges of modern life and societal expectations makes it a notable addition to Burroughs' oeuvre.
