Abstract:
James T. Farrell was a novelist, journalist, and short story writer and very active in politics. He was a longtime friend of Frank Zeidler, former Milwaukee Mayor and socialist. He identified early in his life as a Communist and Marxist and was very active in Trotskyite politics, joining the Socialist Workers Party (SWP). As an author he became known for his realistic descriptions of the working class South Side Irish. In the early 1930s, he wrote his most famous works, the Studs Lonigan trilogy.
