My new biography, *Upton Sinclair; California Socialist, Celebrity Intellectual*, will be released in September from the University of Nebraska Press. My book focuses on a number of aspects of Sinclair that have not been emphasized in prior biographies, including his relationship to labor, both organized and unorganized.
