...many editors and critics are 'dedicated' to a sense of his unimportance." Slight, professional, Upton Sinclair is an unremitting propagandist for himself and Socialism. When he talks his face is bright with a fanatic smile; he writes with humorless conviction. Eastern-bred, he lives in Pasadena, has twice run as Socialist candidate for Governor of California.
