Abstract: "Two old men, one long dead, the other teetering on the lip of the grave, boozily reminisce about their own histories of struggle in a picturesque northern California boneyard. The payoff is an epic tale of the hallucinatory, carnal, ornery, and ultimately tragic-comedic history of the American Left." "E. B. Schnaubelt, the brother of the infamous Rudolph "Haymarket" Schnaubelt, navigates us through the seemingly boundless revolutionary battleground of his life, uttering cries of subversive defiance from beyond the grave that are duly recorded by the FBI snoop. Schnaubelt's co-stars in this extravangza are such long-dead radical luminaries as Lucy Parsons, Emma Goldman, Joe Hill, Big Bill Haywood, Sacco and Vanzetti, and the Haymarket martyrs."
Contents: A brief introduction to E.B. Schnaubelt. -- Haymarket. -- Belly of the beast. -- The death of dogma. -- Kaboom!!! -- Epilogue: The day of the dead of the American Left.
