The extended critical interview is especially flexible as a form,
by turns tenacious and glancing, elliptical or sustained, combining
argument and counter-argument, reflection, history and memoir with
a freedom normally denied to its subjects in conventional writing
formats. Lives on the Left brings together sixteen such interviews
from New Left Review in a group portrait of intellectual engagement
in the twentieth century and since. Four generations of
intellectuals discuss their political histories and present
perspectives, and the specialized work for which they are, often,
best known. Their recollections span the century from the Great War
and the October Revolution to the present, ranging across Europe,
the Americas, Africa and Asia. Psychoanalysis, philosophy, the
gendering of private and public life, capital and class formation,
the novel, geography, and language are among the topics of
theoretical discussion. At the heart of the collection, in all its
diversity of testimony and judgement, is critical experience of
communism and the tradition of Marx, relayed now for a new
generation of readers. Lives on the Left includes interviews with
Georg Lukacs, Hedda Korsch, Jean-Paul Sartre, Dorothy Thompson,
Jir?i Pelikan, Ernest Mandel, Luciana Castellina, Lucio Colletti,
K. Damodaran, Noam Chomsky, David Harvey, Adolfo Gilly, Joao Pedro
Stedile, Asada Akira, Wang Hui and Giovanni Arrighi. New Left
Review was founded in 1960 in London, which has remained its base
ever since. In fifty years of publication, it has won an
international reputation as an independent journal of socialist
politics and ideas, attracting readers and contributors from every
part of the world. A Spanish-language edition is published
bi-monthly from Madrid.
