A masterful novel of politics progressives making their way - rather than - within an ever-changing postwar America For Marty Dworkin and his band of young Trotskyist dreamers in Buffalo, NY, the vision of the just, socialist world crumbles with the rise of Stalin and the chaos of World Conflict II. In the two ages that follow, Dworkin and his idealistic acquaintances strive to set up a new political get together and fight through unexpected studies with family, work, aging, and the changing world. They run up against an increasingly traditional America and a flourishing materialism directly opposed to their own fervent beliefs. They emerge humbled, but still hopeful, into the 1960s, when civil rights struggles and anti-war radicalism move to center stage. Standing Fast is a vintage, panoramic family portrait of life amid the shattered dreams and visionary ambitions of the North american left.
