What does it mean to be a 'leftist' in America nowadays? The author, known for his savage political cartoons, interviews some of the leading participants of the late twentieth century's counterculture and New Left movements - Mort Sahl, Joan Baez, Tariq Ali, Lily Tomlin, Calvin Trillin, Dennis Kucinich, Christopher Hitchens, and others - in search of answers. The conversations, generously illustrated by Mr. Fish, will blow your mind.
