> This book offers the first multidisciplinary analysis of the "wordless

> expressionist, futurist, realist, documentary) and grapples with
> significant cultural and political ideas in a moment when the American
> experiment and capitalism itself hung in the balance. In testing the limits
> of a new narrative form, Ward’s novels require a versatile critical
> framework as sensitive to German Expressionism and Weimar cinema as to
> labor politics and the new energies of proletarian homosexuality.
