This article focuses on the book "Talk United States!," by Robert Whitcomb. The book "Talk United States!" varies the pattern of proletarian fiction. The usual American types have been the slightly fictionized autobiography and the more closely organized drama of some labor situation leading up to a strike climax. Robert Whitcomb's novel has the autobiographical form, but the narrator is a created character-created out of rank and file craftunion men; a typical figure, not a leader or a forerunner; presented as not in any way exceptional.
