It's surprised me to learn how many of the hardboiled writers
had leftist leanings. Len Zinberg was a socialist democrat so
much that he used the psuedonym Ed Lacy to publish his
fiction. Bruno Fischer had leftist leanings as well. Both
were politically active, Fischer having run for public office
and lived in an upstate NY cooperative.
*************** Your comment about Bruno Fischer is
interesting. Wasn't he a pulp writer? In Frank Gruber's
memoir, Pulp Jungle, he states that none of them had much
politics, and I think Fischer was one of his cohorts. My
guess is that Gruber wasn't always aware of what his buddies
were thinking.
