	Arguing the World \| PBS Online
		It is the story of a lifelong political argument among brilliant and engaging individuals who came of age as radicals at the City College of New York during the Great Depression and then journeyed across the political spectrum.
		Irving Kristol became influential in America's resurgent conservative movement, Nathan Glazer, a forceful critic of liberal social policy, while Daniel Bell fought to defend a besieged liberalism.
		Until his death in 1993, Irving Howe, ever on the political margins, endured as a key voice of the radical Left.

	Alan Wald on Irving Howe
		Howe was born Irving Horenstein in 1920, the son of immigrants who ran a small grocery store that went out of business during the Great Depression.
		Howe's disagreements with the Workers Party do not seem to have surfaced until late 1946; however, by 1948 they were fullblown at the same time that Goldman and Farrell were distancing themselves.
		Howe accused James's formulations of being "an insult to the party for which we have worked the past six years," and he accused the Socialist Workers Party of cowardice during World War II by "playing ostrich in the unions" and for its theory of "telescoping" the struggle for socialism and the struggle against fascism.

		Irving Howe was also, as Gerald Sorin tells us in his appropriately subtitled Irving Howe: A Life of Passionate Dissent, a lifelong socialist activist, a man for whom, as Howe often said, the socialist movement was his school and university.

	Irving Howe on Ralph Ellison, 1952
		His ear for Negro speech is magnificent: a share-cropper calmly describing how he seduced his own daughter, a Harlem street-vender spinning jive, a West Indian woman inciting her men to resist an eviction.
		The observation is expert: Ellison knows exactly how zoot-suiters walk, making stylization their principle of life, and exactly how the antagonism between American and West Indian Negroes works itself out in speech and humor.
		It is drenched in Negro life, talk, music: it tells us how distant even the best of the whites are from the fl men that pass them on the streets; and it is written from a particular compound of emotions that no white man could possibly simulate.

	Irving Howe, "Black Boys and Native Sons"
		How could a Negro put pen to paper, how could he so much as think or breathe, without some impulsion to protest, be it harsh or mild, political or private, released or buried?
		Yet it should be said that the endlessly repeated criticism that Wright caps his melodrama with a party-line oration tends to oversimplify the novel, for Wright is too honest to allow the propagandistic message to constitute the last word.
		The observation is expert: he knows exactly how zoot-suiters walk, making stylization their principle of life, and exactly how the antagonism between American and West Indian Negroes works itself out in speech and humor.

		Irving Howe (1920-1993) was born Irving Horenstein, the son of Jewish immigrants who ran a New York grocery store that went out of business during the Great Depression.
		To Howe, socialism seemed to be a gateway to all forms of knowledge, including an understanding of human nature.
		On the other hand, for the common sense and common decencies he displayed as a leftist, Howe was isolated and ignored by the New Left, which dismissed this life-long socialist as a neoconservative.

		It is transfigured and stripped of some of its horror, and with this, injustice is already done to the victims." Howe reads Adorno as stating the sheer difficulty of writing after the Holocaust, and as having opened up the entire question of the validity of an "aesthetic" response to literature of the Holocaust, i.e.
		In what is perhaps the crux of Howe's essay, however, skepticism concerning the realist empiricism of claims for authentic "representation" surfaces, and Howe poses questions of penetrating insight when he considers the subtle shift in Holocaust literature from testimony to witness.
		Howe argues that drama is simply not an appropriate genre for Holocaust literature.

		Howe states in the introduction, "the usual short stories cannot have a complex plot".
		All in all, this is a good beginning to find 'new' writers, to discover styles and to see how one great author can gamble with the size and format of his/her text --and most of them still win.
		In the sense of making an anthology of super-short, the selection might come directly from original English instead of any translated, seemingly storytelling-only stories since the brightness of diction is far more important than a "short-short" story itself.

		Thirties socialists also foundered, Howe maintains, because they failed to grasp that capitalism is highly adaptable, as exemplified by Roosevelt's welfare state.
		Howe refutes Sombart's assertion that the masses enjoy "steady material abundance." The author of World of Our Fathers points out that an American socialist movement, in order to succeed, must position itself as a partial ally of liberalism, yet as an ally that goes beyond liberalism to fight for true economic democracy.
		Howe cites some lessons, including the inability of the working class to lead the way and problems with economic planning, but leaves a lot open.

		Before Howe became a leading literary critic or founded the socialist magazine Dissent, he was a merely a boy playing with other boys on the streets of the Bronx.
		Known for Howe's meticulous research and breadth, the author's vivid, invigorating style is really what makes the tome such a joy to read.
		In immensely readable prose, Howe limns the story of the teeming tenements and sweatshops, the settlement houses and theaters, the union activists, poets, journalists, and actors, all trying to make sense of their new world.

		If you are a publisher or author and hold the digital rights to a book, you can make it available as an eBook on Amazon.com.
		In the Introduction, Irving Howe discusses the short short story, speculating that it is "a separate literary genre, or subgenre." He discusses differences between the short story and the short short.
		My only complaint is that Howe commits what I consider the cardinal sin of anthology introductions: he reveals too much about the content of some of the tales, thus threatening to spoil the readers' enjoyment.

		The first though not least important thing to be said about The Naked God is that simply as a piece of writing it is extremely shabby: incoherent in structure, florid in diction, inflated and hysterical in tone.
		For we had better recognize that pro-Russian sentiment is far more significant than the present collapse of the Communist party would indicate: those for whom Dnieperstroy was an adequate reply to the slave camps in Siberia will now find Sputnik a brilliant reply to what happened in Hungary.
