The Hanging on Union Square
''The Hanging on Union Square: An American Epic'' is a 1935 novel by Chinese American author H.T. Tsiang. The first edition of ''The Hanging on Union Square'' was self-published in 1935. The story is about a man called "Mr. Nut" who sits in a cafeteria, and listens to the problems of the people around him. Mr. Nut himself is unemployed, however feels as though his condition is temporary and dreams of striking it rich. Throughout the story, the reader sees Mr. Nut transforming into a radical activist. The book shows multiple facets of the social strata within the streets of Greenwich Village. The first edition was self-published in 1935, after being rejected from numerous publishers. Tsiang places numerous rejection letters in the opening pages of the novel. True to Tsiang’s radical aesthetic, the original copy does not show the title of the book, instead questioning what a book cover really is: “the cover of a book / is more of a book / than the book is a book.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kaya.com/2013/06/the-cover-of-a-book-is-more-than-a-book-than-the-book-is-a-book/ )〕 The book was published in 2013 by Kaya Press, and edited by Floyd Cheung.
