Sinclair wrote: "All art is propaganda..". "Who owns the artists?" Thus begins Sinclair's history of art, concluding that "the bulk of the successful artists of any time are men in harmony with the spirit of the time, and identified with the powers prevailing."

"Our Lady." The book which Upton Sinclair says: "There is a saying that every author has one book which he especially loves, and "Our Lady" is mine This is a deeper and kindlier Sinclair than you ever have known. "Our Lady" will haunt you just as it did its author. You will read "Our Lady" not once but many times, and you will concur with Mr Sinclair and the critics of the 30's and 40's, that it is the finest book ever done by Upton. A parable for moderns, it yet has all of the speed and suspense of a closely-knit novel. This book has never been reprinted since it was published over 65 years...

As an American socialist, Upton Sinclair was fascinated by Christianity and wrote many fictional books that hummed around the main faith of Anericans. Titles like "Our Lady," "The Secret Life of Jesus" and "A Personal Jesus." "They Call Me Carpenter: A Tale of The Second Coming" is cleary set in the period when it was written in 1922 - the post WWI era. An excerpt from the story: "But you Americans have taken Christ the carpenter - I laughed. It appeared that at this moment we were passing St. Bartholomew's Church, a great brown-stone structure standing at the corner of the park. I waved my...

After her death, Sinclair recalled her as -the loveliest woman I have ever known.-
She moved North with him and began an...

The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it, "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery." This is the novel that Upton Sinclair used to show horrific practices in the meatpacking industry in the first part of the twentieth century. Like most of Sinclair, the book ultimately becomes a paen to socialism. But the man could write, whatever his politics were,...

Upton Sinclair is best known for writing "The Jungle" -- a novel that exposes the practices of the meat packing industry that lead to governmental investigations and changed food laws in America.
"King Coal" is based on the 1914 and 1915 coal strikes and follows Hal Warner, a rich man who wanted a look into commoners' lives. What he found there was abhorrent -- thus begins the tale of unionization and the advocacy workers' rights. Unionization, however, is easier spoken of than it is accomplished. It was a dangerous task -- for the leaders of the coal mines were hardened men, men who would...

When people ask me what has happened in my long lifetime I do not refer them to the newspaper files and to the authorities, but to ySinclair's novels.-- George Bernard Shaw This is the novel that Upton Sinclair used to show horrific practices in the meatpacking industry in the first part of the twentieth century. Like most of Sinclair, the book ultimately becomes a paen to socialism. But the man could write, whatever his politics were, and ewww , the meatpackers were up to no damn good at all anyway. Highly recommended.
