The Unpossessed

Set against the backdrop of 1930s New York, the novel explores the vibrant and tumultuous world of left-wing intellectuals. With a diverse cast that includes writers, activists, and affluent supporters, it delves into themes of economic hardship, failed relationships, and the struggles of artistic expression. The sharp wit and keen observations provide a comedic yet poignant reflection on the era, drawing parallels to the works of notable authors like Dawn Powell and Mary McCarthy.
