Product Description
This biography is a tale of an upper-middle-class white male who managed to jettison the prejudices and provincialism of his class, and become one of the most penetrating critics of mid-century American civilization. Dwight MacDonald was the founder of "The Partisan Review", and editor of "The New Yorker", "Fortune" and "Esquire". His friends ranged from Hannah Arendt to Abbie Hoffman.
