Joining us to discuss Tess Slesinger and her brilliant 1934 novel, The Unpossessed, is her son, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker and novelist Peter Davis, and cultural critic and professor Paula Rabinowitz. Extremely popular for a brief period, Slesinger’s satirical novel about Depression-era, left-wing New Yorkers was printed four times within a month of publication making her a minor celebrity almost overnight.
