"Chalk Face" by Waldo David Frank is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around John Mark, a New York-based doctor who grapples with profound existential questions, the nature of love, and the challenges he faces in both his personal and professional life. Delving into themes of mystery, morality, and the psyche, the narrative suggests a deeper commentary on the human experience and the complexities of relationships. At the start of the novel, John Mark introduces himself and reflects on his life and ambitions, conveying a sense of intellectual vigor and emotional turmoil. He describes his pursuit of a scientific career, his love for a woman named Mildred, and the tensions that arise from his relationships with his parents and society. The opening lays the foundation for Mark's internal conflict and hints at the appearance of a murder connected to his personal circle, which complicates his aspirations for love and fulfillment. As he prepares to confront both his feelings for Mildred and the unfolding mystery around the murder, the narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of desire, ambition, and the human condition.
