Ex-rental library with rubber stamps on endpapers (but no other library marks) and otherwise internally clean. 197 pages. Scarce. A scarce title by Melvin P. Levy (1902-1980), novelist, writer, and Hollywood screenwriter, known for his radical politics. The son of Russian immigrants, he received his masters degree in English from the University of Washington in 1924. His first novel, Matrix, was published by Thomas Seltzer in 1925 and was characterized by a critique of middle class conventions, social mechanization, and the restraints placed on youth. He relocated to New York and in 1926 presented a lecture at the Bronx Free Fellowship entitled ''Capitalism and the Artist.'' In September 1927, his New York office was attacked and 400 copies of Wedding were either damaged or destroyed (likely why this is such a rare copy). The attack was presumed to have been inspired by the charge that his book ''profaned Jesus.'' In 1931, he was indicted alongside Theodore Dreiser and John Dos Passos for criminal syndicalism while investigating the working conditions of coal miners in Kentucky. After publishing four novels and a play, he went to work in Hollywood as a screenwriter. As revealed in his 1952, McCarthy-era interview before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he had been a member of the Communist Party in 1933 and in 1944 became affiliated with the Communist Political Association. By 1952 he had written many movie screenplays, including Hitler's Madman (1943), which starred John Carradine as Reinhard Heydrich. Levy was also the author of the novels Lafayette Carter and The Last Pioneer as well as the play Gold Eagle Guy. At one point, he worked on a biography of the labor leader Thomas Mooney, at the request of publisher Harcourt, but the project was never completed.
