#90 The Romance of American Communism w/ Vivian Gornick
Added 2020-06-18 16:31:28 +0000 UTCVivian Gornick joins me to talk about her classic book, The Romance of American Communism. We spoke about her experience of growing up amongst communists and socialists in the Bronx in the 1930s, how she sought to counter simplistic depictions of the lives of American communists and how - in spite of its authoritarianism - the American Communist Party enabled ordinary men and women to feel connected to a larger human project.
