It will resurrect your faith in all of us to read this book." - Newsweek "Wonderful! The American memory, the American way, the American voice. " Hard Times doesn't 'render' the time of the depression-it is that time, its lingo, mood, its tragic and hilarious stories." -Arthur Miller The voices that speak from the pages of this unique book are as timeless as the lessons they impart ( The New York Times). Featuring a mosaic of memories from politicians, businessmen, artists, striking workers, and Okies, from those who were just kids to those who remember losing a fortune, Hard Times is not only a gold mine of information but a fascinating interplay of memory and fact, revealing how the 1929 stock market crash and its repercussions radically changed the lives of a generation. In this "invaluable record" of one of the most dramatic periods in modern American history, Studs Terkel recaptures the Great Depression of the 1930s in all its complexity.
