Summary "A New Sensation" by Albert Ross is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the main character, Donald Camran, who is recovering from an illness and contemplating a journey to the Caribbean. Seeking company, he decides to hire a female typewriter to assist with his writing and serve as a traveling companion, leading him to navigate the complexities of personal relationships and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, Donald is engaged in a conversation with his friends, who suggest he needs a "new sensation" to rejuvenate his spirit. After a failed marriage proposal, he resolves to take a trip and advertise for a typewriter to accompany him. The opening portion introduces his humorous and candid determination to embark on this unconventional journey while setting the stage for the exploration of his interactions with women, specifically the potential companions responding to his advertisement, including the intriguing letters he receives. The narrative establishes a blend of light-heartedness and introspection as Donald grapples with his past and the uncertainties of the impending journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
