Fifth title by by San Francisco longshoreman/philosopher Hoffer. Begun in June 1958, it throws light "upon the workings of a highly original mind...for its glimpse into the world of the wtaerfront and men who are seldom articulate on their own behalf. During this period the world was in a state of agitation...and...these influences are reflected in the journal entries. Hoffer, always the individualist, reacted to the times with perceptive candor and wit...Working and Thinking on the Waterfront, the record of one decisive year in the life of an articulate and provocative personality, provides rare insights into the creative process."
