Description
Book SynopsisRevealing the legacy of the 1930s for the war years and the McCarthy era, this book explores the personal impact of hard political reality with which the author himself has been so well acquainted. It follows Carl Myers, who progresses from an objective interest in scientific problems to a concern with the human implications of those problems.
Trade Review"A first-rate psychological study which, at its best, is as pleasurable to read as the richest moments in any novel by James, Keller, or Mann... Polonsky's incredible gift as a writer is reflected in the way his narrative ties together the various threads of Carl's intellectual development while intimately relating these, both psychologically and historically, to the unfolding of actual events in Carl's life." - William Scott, Modern Language Notes
