What The Critics Said:
This is a book of marvelous portraits. Jim Tully is the American Gorky The New York Times
A fascinating book and one of the frankest. The New York Evening Post
If Tully were a Russian, read in translation, all the Professors would be hymning him. He has all of Gorkys capacity for making vivid the miseries of poor and helpless men, and in addition he has a humor that no Russian could conceivably have. - H.L. Mencken
