As Sanford explained 'in 1947, it was a new kind of cold altogether: McCarthyism, it was called, and hard weather was no longer on the way, -it was here. For \u003ci\u003eA Man Without Shoes\u003c\/i\u003e, the sixteen seasons of the next four years were all of them winter. During that period, the book was submitted to some thirty publishers, and thirty-some times it was declined.' \u003cbr\u003e  The novel was considered too politically radical and leftist for the mainstream publishers at the dawn of the McCarthy era.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123876872432,"sku":"9781448213252","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448213252_p0.jpg?v=1763832243","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448213252","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
