| Summary | "Shorty McCabe" by Sewell Ford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the primary character, Shorty McCabe, a former boxer who navigates the ups and downs of life while training others in the sport and getting caught up in various misadventures. The tone is light-hearted and narrative-driven, giving readers a sense of both camaraderie and mischief as they follow McCabe's encounters. The opening of the book introduces us to Shorty McCabe, who reminisces about his past encounters and the friends he's made along the way. It paints a vivid picture of his life post-boxing, filled with quirky characters like Leonidas Dodge, a man with dubious credentials who becomes a business partner of sorts. The dialogue-heavy narrative showcases the bustling social life of McCabe, his humorous self-reflection, and hints at a mix of comedic misfortunes, culminating in a series of amusing events involving another character, Homer Fales, who is depicted as a reluctant invalid. As the story unfolds, readers are drawn into Shorty's world of odd jobs, friendships, and the lighter side of life's struggles, setting the stage for the adventures yet to come.
