AN INTELLECTUAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Irving Howe has
created not just
II
An
Intellectual Autobi–
ography;' but the very
flesh and blood of this
century's radical m.ove–
ment in Am.erica.
His award -winning best–
seller,
World of
Our
Fathers ,
is a history of east European
Jews struggling to become
American . Now, his stun–
ning personal history,
A
Margin of Hope ,
explores
radicalism of the Thirties to
the present; the ideological
conflicts over Stalinism ,
McCarth yism, Vietnam ,
the New Left; and the liter-
ary influences that shaped
American culture over the
past five decades .
"Irving Howe ' s prose–
restless, supple, marvelously
aphoristic-is a constant
pleasure to read ...
A Mar–
gin of Hope
[is] fascinating
intellectual history . .. an
incisive meditation on an
America uneasily strad–
dling the middle of this
century.Ii -Th e
