Robert Cantwell

A labor strike at a lumber mill divides a town based on the author's hometown of Aberdeen, Washington. "The Land of Plenty" portrays the blue-collar workers' struggle for existence and depicts, with sensitivity and compassion, workers and owners alike in their poverty, depravity, and their ultimate goodness. "The Land of Plenty" created a political firestorm when it was published to great success in 1935. Long out -f-print, one of the most graphically exciting novels of the Thirties and a lost classic of American history is available again through Pharos Editions. Selected and Introduced by Jess Walter ("Beautiful Ruins, The Financial Lives of the Poets").
