Description

Penguin Books is happy to currently function as the publisher of Acrylic!, the traditional 1927 novel by Upton Sinclair. After publishing The Marketplace, his scathing indictment of the meat-packing industry, Sinclair made his views to the beginning of the California oil industry in a very enjoyable tale having a cavalcade of people including senators, oil magnets, Hollywood movie starlets, and a crusading evangelist. This breathtaking and vibrant guide, that was recently reported by David Denby in the Brand New Yorker to be Sinclair’s “most readable” story, has become the motivation for that Vital Outlook main film, You Will See Blood. It's the long-anticipated film from Paul Thomas Anderson, among the most respected filmmakers working today whose past films, Boogie Nights and Magnolia were equally numerous Academy-Award nominees.
