Description

Tess Slesinger's 1934 book, The Unpossessed information the ins and outs and ups and downs of left-wing Ny intellectual life and includes a cast of layabouts, litterateurs, lotharios, educational activists, and hair -dressed customers of the disciplines and demonstration. This comedy about crisis, poor jobs, awful partnerships, small journals, large concepts, and the morning-after bears comparison with the very best work of Dawn Powell and Mary McCarthy.
