Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication. ' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change."-Johns Hopkins University.

If you read only one B. Traven book (besides "Death Ship"), make it this one, especially if you write or aspire to be a writer. College sophomores are sometimes told to practice writing like Hemingway to rid their prose of excessive purple. I'd recommend reading and imitating the stories in this book for the same reason. While tied together in being set in Mexico, they're varied in plot , character, and mood. The first story, "The Night Visitor," is the most vivid and haunting, not to be missed. You can read these stories for the politics in them, for the culture of Mexico they portray, for their characterizations, for their craftsmanship, a few for their humor, to become better acquainted with their author, or just for the unholy pleasure of relishing truly great writing.
