193217678New York: Harper & Brothers. Fair in Fair dj. 1932. First Edition. Hardcover. a pretty beat-up copy probably an ex-rental library book although NOT stamped or marked as such in any way; the dust jacket however is backed with brown paper and thoroughly glued down at the flaps which was pretty standard practice for such libraries; in any case the book is heavily worn but internally clean and with its binding intact and the jacket is well a mess. The author of this "distinguished and thoughtful novel about present-day New York" thought it best to cloak himself in anonymity so "that the personages with whom he is acquainted will not be embarrassed by his presence." Sounds like the lesson that Truman Capote never learned. The book's action takes place from mid-1929 to late 1931 a period which in the author's opinion "in a most dramatic way indicates the disintegration of our social system." Written "in the racy speech of the day" the book presents "a dramatic flashlight picture of the hypocrisy and graft -- financial criminal political -- characterizing our society." The New York Times reviewer while finding the book narratively sketchy was nevertheless impressed by its range commenting that "under their own names or easily recognizable pseudonyms numerous legal lights political sachems millionaires professional liberals and reformers appear either in person or by name" and that "most of New York's institutions and celebrities and notorieties of the past three or four years come in for at least passing comment." .

193443069n.d. but 1934. Original clean copy typescript poem; 9ll. on onionskin; previous mail folds ex-Mooney Papers Bancroft Library with their small rubberstamps to each leaf else Very Good and sound. Lengthy unpublished ballad of 86 4- and 5-line stanzas recounting the plight of iron molder and IWW leader Tom Mooney from his birth to the present date 1934 based on the penultimate stanza on p. 6 describing Judge Griffin: "all these eighteen years since the 1916 trial / Has fought on Mooney's side". Though no author is provided the poet has a detailed knowledge of Mooney's biography and trial beginning before his birth with his father "A tall trade-union Irishman / Choking his lungs out mining coal"; progressing to Mooney's early childhood helping his widowed mother make ends meet as a paperboy; and the first trial against him after dynamite was found or planted on a boat in the San Pablo Bay a crime for which he was exonerated. The poem additionally recounts the first meetings between Mooney and Warren K. Billings as well as the tireless travel and work his mother and sister shouldered to bring justice after it was revealed that the star witness Frank Oxman had perjured himself. The poem ends with the heartbreaking death of Mother Mooney who was laid in state at the gates of San Quentin and the mournful plea: "Warren Billings is forty years old. / Tom Mooney's hair grows white. / How soon will California turn / Her long long wrong to right" Another five years would pass before liberal Governor Culbert Olson would pardon him in 1939. unknown books
