Read for American Imagination: From the Gilded Age to the Cold War. Excellent propaganda from the time period--and almost as relevant today.

Read for class. Odets does really well at conveying the emotion and struggle of the working class and union people. Would love to see this play in person.

I read this play as part of the English Literature syllabus in the university where I'm studying, and I was not expecting it.
This is a real story, a story of the common man, but also of the common woman, who actually play a huge part, even if it doesn't seem like it at first glance. It touches a bit of everything, and how money influences a load of things in our lives, corruption, deceit, poverty, etc..
I can't wait to discuss it in class!
