Meridel Le Sueur

"Meridel Le Sueur (1900-1996) lived all of her life in the middle west, where she became a voice of conscience for her time. Her second novel, I Hear Men Talking, written in the 1930s but only published in 1984, is her most neglected work. This second edition with a new introduction by Linda Ray Pratt should help give this story of farm life in the Depression its rightful place in American literature."--BOOK JACKET.
