	Upton Sinclair Criticism
		Sinclair should be popular with the dispossessed: they who are so seldom flattered find in his pages a land of milk and honey.
		Both in life and in writings Sinclair has attempted, as did Dickens, to be the persuading intermediary between the contending classes.
		I respect [Upton Sinclair] because he says exactly what he thinks, even if it often sounds foolish to others and will eventually sound foolish to himself; he is willing to confess his mistakes.

		Upton Sinclair needs no introduction to the public as a fearless, honest, and critical student of public affairs.
		Sinclair either are grossly stupid, incompetent and careless persons or have deliberately entered upon a conspiracy to deceive the public in a most heartless and reprehensible fashion....His record and his writings should secure a wide and respectful hearing for what he has to tell us in the following pages.

	Upton Sinclair (1878-1968)
		Sinclair's purpose in writing the novel was to document the inhumane treatment of working men and women in industrial capitalism and to argue that socialism provided the only solution to the problem.
		However, it is possible to discuss the primitive, at times brutal, prose of the novel as an appropriate vehicle to convey the quality of human life that Sinclair found in the stockyards of Chicago: working men and women reduced to the level of the dumb beasts they were butchering on the killing fields.
		Sinclair, like these other socialist writers of the Progressive Era, understood that journalism and fiction could be used as political tools.

	Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. - By Karen Olsson - Slate Magazine
		Sinclair was a self-important moralist and a glutton for work, as Anthony Arthur relates in a new biography, Radical Innocent: Upton Sinclair, and his outsized drive to put words on paper seems to have preceded any other ambition.
		Sinclair was a meticulous reporter and a vivid explainer, not just of the industry but of the interlocking worlds of factory and slum and political machine.
		If Sinclair thought his story would highlight the plight of the immigrant worker instead of the quality of meat being produced he had far too high an opinion of the readers, who are always going to first and foremost address those issues that impact them personally.

	OUPblog: Happy Birthday Upton Sinclair!
		Sinclair, Upton (20 Sept. 1878-25 Nov. 1968), novelist, reformer, and politician, was born Upton Beall Sinclair, Jr., in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Upton Beall Sinclair, Sr., a wholesale liquor salesman, and Priscilla Harden.
		Sinclair's plot, apart from brilliantly dramatizing poor people's communal life, including an occasional picnic and vivid marriage ceremonies, is less significant than his horrifying depiction of working conditions in the meat-packing industry.
		Sinclair's romantic hope, though not his realistic expectation, was that his Lanny Budd series, corny but coherent, as one reviewer put it, would encourage the masses to espouse socialism without the taint of communism.

	Random House \| Books \| Radical Innocent: Upton Sinclair by Anthony Arthur
		Sinclair’s writing, even at its most poignant or electrifying, blurred the line between politics and art–and, indeed, his life followed a similar arc.
		Sinclair’s passion and optimistic zeal inspired America, but privately he could be a frustrated, petty man who connected better with his readers than with members of his own family.
		Personally and professionally ambitious, Sinclair engaged in financial speculation, although his wealth-generating schemes often benefited his pet causes–and he lobbied as tirelessly for professional recognition and awards as he did for government reform.

		Sinclair stuck with his dogma, the author of Upton Sinclair, Radical Innocent told me, through the 1939 Soviet-Nazi Pact, and probably didn’t have serious doubts until the early 1950s.
		Sinclair, who has been described as both a humorless crank and an idealist, used the proceeds of The Jungle to establish a socialist commune in New Jersey.
