James T. Farrell was a novelist, journalist, and short
story writer and very active in politics. He was a longtime friend of Frank Zeidler,
former Milwaukee Mayor and socialist. He identified early in his life as a Communist
and Marxist and was very active in Trotskyite politics, joining the Socialist
Workers Party (SWP). As an author he became known for his realistic descriptions of
the working class South Side Irish. In the early 1930s, he wrote his most famous
works, the Studs Lonigan trilogy.
