Mike Gold was the Communist Party's
most talented writer, who attempted to be an American
Gorky; Jews Without Money, a novel based on his
upbringing on the Lower East Side, is a minor classic. In
the essays of The Hollow Men, Gold, the puritan
and partisan, praises social realism and the young
writers affiliated with the Communist Party, attacks the
intellectuals who have deserted it because of their
support for the "imperialist war" against Hitler, and
once again takes up the cudgel against decadence
personified by Thornton Wilder.
