A Long Island family with a beautiful daughter comes to New York to sell her — into a chorus line first, then into the best marriage the mother can arrange, the auction block being the point of the title. Beach joined the Klondike rush at twenty-two, struck nothing, and mined the experience instead; here he leaves the North for Broadway, and the mother is one of the most convincing monsters in American fiction.
