"Its Depressionera New York, and Mr. Nut, an oblivious American everyman, wants to strike it rich, even if at the moment hes 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 charactersdisgruntled workers at a Communist cafeteria, lecherous old men, sexually exploited women, pesky authorswho 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 faceoff 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 selfpublished, having been rejected by dozens of baffled publishers, it has become a classic of Asian American literaturea satirical sendup of class politics and capitalism and a shout of populist rage that still resonates today"
