Bernard Clare is a 1946 novel by James T. Farrell. It was the first novel in a trilogy following the writer Bernard Carr. [1] The character's name was changed from Clare to Carr following a libel suit from a man named Bernard Clare. [2] Farrell won the libel case, with the court holding that it was "inconceivable that any sensible person could assume...that it purported to refer to the life and career of the [real] Bernard Clare" [3] The book follows a twenty-one year old novelist who moves from Chicago to New York and becomes involved in radical politics. [4] Unlike the protagonists of the Studs Lonigan and Danny O'Neill novels, Bernard Carr was the first character Farrell had written who was also a novelist and involved with literature. [5]
