MARX IN SOHO by Howard Zinn

"Don't you ever wonder: why is it necessary to declare me dead again and again?"

In this "play on history", Karl Marx has convinced the authorities of the afterlife for a chance to return to the realm of the living and clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, though, Marx is sent to Soho in New York, rather than his old stomping ground in London, to make his case.

MARX IN SOHO, by Howard Zinn, is a brilliant, witty, and insightful introduction to Marx's personal life, his analysis of society, and his passion for radical change. Zinn also shows how Marx's ideas are still relevant today.

"Brilliant, funny, and dead-on politically..." - Village Voice
