Upton Sinclair (1878–1968)
Författare till Vildmarken
Om författaren
Upton Sinclair, a lifelong vigorous socialist, first became well known with a powerful muckraking novel, The Jungle, in 1906. Refused by five publishers and finally published by Sinclair himself, it became an immediate bestseller, and inspired a government investigation of the Chicago stockyards, visa mer which led to much reform. In 1967 he was invited by President Lyndon Johnson to "witness the signing of the Wholesome Meat Act, which will gradually plug loopholes left by the first Federal meat inspection law" (N.Y. Times), a law Sinclair had helped to bring about. Newspapers, colleges, schools, churches, and industries have all been the subject of a Sinclair attack, analyzing and exposing their evils. Sinclair was not really a novelist, but a fearless and indefatigable journalist-crusader. All his early books are propaganda for his social reforms. When regular publishers boycotted his work, he published himself, usually at a financial loss. His 80 or so books have been translated into 47 languages, and his sales abroad, especially in the former Soviet Union, have been enormous. (Bowker Author Biography) visa färre

Sinclair skildrar med bravur den unge Bunnys inre stormar och yttre slitningar mellan sin socialistiska/kommunistiska övertygelse och sin fars kapitalistiska (sic.) handlingar.
Språket är stundom lite väl hurtigt, och kärlekshistorierna känns kanske inte helt äkta. författarens politiska engagemang gör romanen trots det tillräckligt intressant att läsa. Jag slås av hur de politiska argumenten är desamma (nästan) idag som för nittio år sedan.… (mer)
