Paperback. Zustand: Good. A subversively comic, genre-bending satire of bourgeois life by an essential Chinese American voice A Penguin Classic It's Depression-era New York, and Mr. Nut, an oblivious American everyman, wants to strike it rich, even if at the moment he's unemployed, with no job prospects in sight. Over the course of a single night, in a narrative that unfolds hour by hour, he meets a cast of strange characters--disgruntled workers at a Communist cafeteria, lecherous old men, sexually exploited women, pesky authors--who eventually convince him to cast off his bourgeois aspirations for upward mobility and become a radical activist. Absurdist, inventive, and suffused with revolutionary fervor, and culminating in a dramatic face-off against capitalist power in the figure of the greedy businessman Mr. System, The Hanging on Union Square is a work of blazing wit and originality. More than eighty years after it was self-published, having been rejected by dozens of baffled publishers, it has become a classic of Asian American literature--a satirical send-up of class politics and capitalism and a shout of populist rage that still resonates today.

First edition. First edition. Signed by H.T. Tsiang on dedication page, interestingly inscribed "To friend Robert H. Thayer [signed in English and Chinese characters] H.T. Tsiang c/o M. Rosener Troika N.Y. City Feb. 2nd, 1932." Thayer is very likely the lawyer who assisted in the Lindbergh baby kidnapping case that transfixed the world, starting in March 1932; he was also future OSS head William "Wild Bill" Donovan's protege according to Lloyd Gardner's book on the Lindbergh case, The Case that Never Dies. If the "M. Rosener" mentioned in the inscription was Morris "Mickey" Rosner, an intelligence-connected gangster who also pops up in the Lindbergh kidnapping case, this is a very intriguing association copy. Rosner would take Thayer around to various underworld haunts, according to Gardner. Tsiang's mention of a "troika" (a tripartite group) of himself and these two figures is also interesting. 158 pp. Bound in publisher's wraps with yapped edges.
