Profile: Howard Fast

"Howard had a tremendous interest in America-and a tremendous love for this country," says Mimi Fast, wife of the late novelist Howard Fast.
Fast (1914--2003) was one of the most prolific American writers of the twentieth century. He was a bestselling author of more than eighty works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and screenplays. In 1950, his refusal to provide the United States Congress with a list of possible Communist associates earned him a three-month prison sentence. During his incarceration, Fast wrote one of his best-known novels, Spartacus (1951).
Throughout his long career, Fast matched his commitment to championing social justice in his writing with a deft, lively storytelling style. For the first time, sixty-three of his works will be available as ebooks. Watch Mimi Fast, son and author Jonathan Fast, and author and daughter-in-law Erica Jong speak about his legacy.

Thank you for the inspiring book of zen fiction and the life changing book I read immediatly after that on the art of zen and how to meditate. I still read it regularly. I hadn't been able to get a handle on it before and it has made ma a better person who is able to do more good. I hope you know how much respect I have for the legacy and I will continue to spread the word. Leonard.
