"Upton Sinclair has taken a busman's holiday to write this new novel, his first since he completed his ten-volume Lanny Budd series." "Upton Sinclair imagined himself a poet and dedicated his time to writing poetry. Upton Sinclair early in his career. Upton Sinclair wearing a white suit and black armband, picketing the Rockefeller Building in New York City. In 1904, Sinclair spent seven weeks in disguise, working undercover in Chicago's meatpacking plants to research his novel, The Jungle (1906) , a political exposé that addressed conditions in the plants as well as the lives of poor immigrants. When it was published two years later, it became a bestseller. With the income from The Jungle, Sinclair founded the utopian Helicon Home Colony in Englewood, New Jersey (Helicon Home Colony was a white-only space ). He ran as a Socialist candidate for Congress. The colony burned down under suspicious circumstances within a year." (from Wikipedia) .
