Left of the Left. Anatole Dolgoff

The most prominent thing about this book is the author’s voice. As mentioned, it conjures images of a lost era and a distant version of New York City. It is also defined by a gritty, old-school sense of New York humor.It is the tale of an amazing bond between father and son that at the same time tells the story of one of the most vibrant, working-class movements the United States has seen.Sam, and his son, rubbed shoulders with luminaries of time Eugene O’Neill, Diego Rivera, Paul Berman among others, as well as just about every radical organizer of note.Fascinating, real-life personal stories.
