Synopsis

Excerpt from More Dangerous Thoughts

My duties ranged all the way from running errands free of charge for government agencies, to hissing slackers and sus pected slackers. The medal, which they assured me was made from the steel of a captured German cannon, had a blank space for the engraving of my name. But they didn''t trouble them selves to engrave it. They just handed it to me and said I could have it engraved myself - which I never managed to get the money to do. It was always a source of chagrin to me and I once tried to scratch my name on it with a nail, but the metal was too hard. There wasn''t even a ribbon on it - just a hole where one might go. I borrowed a red one from my mother, sewed it to an old clasp pin, and it looked all right from a distance.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Introduction A ny preface or literary foreword to Mike Quin s((M ore Dangerous Thoughts, or any other book that he chooses to write from now on unless he changes greatly can only, from the humanitarian point of view, be, by me, an endorsement of his ideas in toto a eulogy of himself. For here is a man, and in addition a humanitarian artist, who sees life not from the class but the mass point of view. Affectionately and wisely, he sees the truth as to lifes social processes the rich dominating and, more often than not, illtreating the poor; the strong, the weak, etc., etc. More, he sees, and with such understanding and intense sympathy, the sufferings of the many as opposed to the swillmg and indifferent satisfactions of the few. He understands the common laborer, the ditch digger, the hewer of wood and the drawer of water, and, like the man Christ is supposed to have been, he says, in current American words: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is a just claim to a better social state a just and equitable one and that that state is coming.
