Time: the Present presents the best short stories of Tess Slesinger, one of the best American writers of the 1930, including numerous stories never before collected. Slesinger's innovative and modernist narrative techniques explore the sexual, economic, and cultural entanglements of men and women of the 1930s.

Tess Slesinger's 1934 novel, The Unpossessed details the ins and outs and ups and downs of left-wing New York intellectual life and features a cast of litterateurs, layabouts, lotharios, academic activists, and fur-clad patrons of protest and the arts. This cutting comedy about hard times, bad jobs, lousy marriages, little magazines, high principles, and the morning after bears comparison with the best work of Dawn Powell and Mary McCarthy.

And intensely feminine book, in which bleakness, unemployment, heartache, and heartlessness are combined with an agreeable feeling of settling down for conversation with an intimate, disillusioned, gossipy, malicious and often very witty friend.--New Statesman
