Seller's Description:
Good. Book Softcover, xx, 309 pp. Foreward by Carl Sandburg. 1st paperback printing. Moderate wear, text has age-toned otherwise unmarked, tight binding. Harry Golden (1902-1981) was the son of an immigrant, the product of New York's Lower East Side, a resident of the Deep South and publisher of a unique newspaper with the unlikely title of the Carolina Israelite (1942-1968). It could only happen in America.
In the course of a nostalgic trip writing about my childhood, I reminded myself of my mostly non-reading father's affection for this writer, who I suppose could be described as a southern, Jewish, liberal Mencken. This was a huge bestseller when I was about 12 years old, and I reread it now to check my recollection. It is very dated but is exactly as sentimental and middle-of-the-road (my father exactly) as I recalled. The "controversial" essay in here,"The Vertical Negro" is no more than cute, although Golden deserves some credit for fighting and lampooning his segregationist neighbors at a time that that was unpopular, even dangerous. At his best, then, brave; at his worst, sappy, and the latter dominates this collection of columns from his publication The Carolina Israelite.
