| 520 | _a"Five and ten" by Fannie Hurst is a novel written in the early 20th century. It examines the price of American success through dime-store magnate John G. Rarick, his ambitious, dissatisfied wife Jenny, and their sharp, sophisticated daughter Jennifer as they chase status amid New York’s elite. A scholar-lodger, Dr. Felix Gerkes, stands as a foil to their glittering world of “things,” highlighting the tension between material display and inner substance. The opening of this novel centers on Rarick’s sleepless reflections on his improbable rise and on Jenny’s relentless drive to convert his fortune into social position, culminating in her pressing him to buy the palatial Ficke house on Fifth Avenue—which he does. In New York, Rarick befriends the austere, learned Dr. Gerkes and installs him in their home, to the thinly veiled disgust of Jenny and the bemused defiance of Jennifer. Jennifer’s brazen, witty persona surfaces in public antics and private clashes with her father, who struggles to anchor his family against the drift of luxury and speed. Summoned to meet Gerkes, she is forced to skip a society dinner, and an awkward family evening exposes the central conflict: Rarick’s craving for meaning and restraint versus Jenny and Jennifer’s appetite for display, motion, and modern amusements. A formal dinner with Gerkes crystallizes the clash of values—his dry, erudite talk and quiet integrity set against the family’s glittering surfaces and quick patter—leaving the household’s fault lines starkly visible.
