by Douglas Wixson

Explores the origins and development of worker-writing, the numerous 'little magazines' that welcomed it, and the history of its reception. This book examines the differences between the mid western and East Coast literary worlds, and the milieu in which Jack Conroy and others like him worked - the Depression, job layoffs, and factory closings.
