"[Howard] Fast was blacklisted from the #publishing industry... one of a generation of #artists who were purged from America’s mainstream, the #blacklist ruining their careers, consigning them to obscurity & often poverty. Many #books from that time still remain unpublished & screenplays unmade...
But within the unwavering terror of the #McCarthyist period are stories of resistance. Fast’s experience in prison... led him to write the novel Spartacus."
