{"product_id":"slow-vision","title":"Slow Vision","description":"Maxwell Bodenheim's 1934 novel Slow Vision depicts a young couple, a pair of average Americans swept up in labor struggles and reduced to painful subsistence, portraying the protagonists' gradual understanding of labor unions and the psychological, philosophical, and political trials that led to sympathetic affiliations in Socialism and Communism. Thus initiates their \"slow vision,\" a simmering understanding of the manifestations of Leftist movements and of special relevance to the climate of the first two decades of the 21st century.\n\nBodenheim's books-thirteen novels and nine volumes of verse-are mostly out of print. Some were resurrected in the late-1940s through the mid-1950s as cheap pulp paperbacks after Bodenheim had lost the rights to his own work. Slow Vision was not one of them. Presumably, nobody wanted to be reminded of the Great Depression. Slow Vision would be Bodenheim's last published novel and literary history has forgotten it.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0578832399\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0578832399.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bodenheim, Maxwell|Maher Jr, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
