Exiles from a Future Time

From the publisher:

"A fascinating, perhaps even magisterial record of the complex achievement of those many American writers who gallantly dared to imagine a world free of reckless capitalism and its attendant social plagues."
-Arnold Rampersad, author of The Life of Langston Hughes

With this book, Alan Wald launches a bold and passionate account of the U.S. Literary Left from the 1920s through the 1960s. This first volume of a trilogy focuses on the forging of a Communist-led literary tradition in the 1930s.
