This article focuses on the book "Co-op: A Novel of Living Together," by Upton Sinclair. If only one respect, the concreteness of its social program, does this book differ from the bulk of Upton Sinclair's earlier work. Though Sinclair has always regarded fiction as a medium of political persuasion, it was to the ideals of social justice rather than to any one panacea that he dedicated his novels. His new book shows the familiar indignation at the system of exploitation, but the course of every event and every character is detoured into the history of a cooperative in California.
