Abstract

To Slovene readers the honoring of Louis Adamic's book The Native's Return as the Book­ of-the-Month Club selection for February 1934 came as a surprise. This article, however, provides an overview of events and actions that culminated in the decision of the Club's judges in order to show that the whole success story had been carefully planned by Louis Adamic who bad put an enormous amount of effort into making his book a bestseller, and succeeded.
