SI "m not civilized. I "m a wild man, and I "m going to stay wild. I belong to the common people, and it "s my game and my preference, too to stick to them. I "m willing to make concessions; I "m not a fool. ... I know that to play the game here in Washington I "ve got to do something in society. But ... I "ll make em accept me as I am. ... I make them do what I want, make em like me as I am. This scandalous novel about the lives and loves of a prominent Washington, D.C., family cost author David Graham Phillips his life. In January 1911, he was shot outside the Princeton Club at Gramercy Park in New York City. The killer was a Harvard-educated musician named Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough, a violinist in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra who came from a prominent Maryland family. Goldsborough believed that The Fashionable Adventures of Joshua Craig was based on his family. When confronting Phillips, Goldsborough yelled, "Here you go!" After Phillips collapsed, the violinist yelled, "And here I go!", shooting himself in the head.
