Ripe Tomatoes

by Nora Ruth Roberts

The members of the Utopian Tomato Commune unite with the Canning Factory workers for a smart, sensuous class struggle. Former Editor of Young Socialist, Nora Ruth Roberts hands in a picture of Left politics besieged by didactic thinking as the quirks of the commune members are suppressed by ideologues and "leaders". Roberts, with just enough basil for flavor, points the way forward.

Wtf was this book.

Along with Yuri Rytkheu's "A Dream in Polar Fog," this book helped keep me alive during my brief stint in Denton, TX. Like Mark Binelli's "Sacco and Vanzetti Must Die," this charming novella fits into the leftist farce genre.
