Description

Thyrsis and Corydon wed on ideals, then meet rent, hunger, childbirth, and the slow bruise of ambition that will not pay. He fights to write; she bears the house and a hope that keeps cracking. Sinclair’s novel of a young marriage under poverty in early-20th-century America, spoken as love’s hard education when the freer life they promised each other collides with what the world actually costs.

Author

Upton Sinclair (1878–1968) wrote The Jungle and a long shelf of muckraking novels in which industry is the villain. The Chicago stockyards novel was meant to convert readers to socialism; it converted them to food reform instead — and still stands as American protest fiction at documentary heat. Sinclair kept going: oil, coal, journalism, politics, a career of books used as weapons.
