Edward Anderson was a newspaper reporter and editor. He authored two books, "Hungry Men," a Depression-era novel, and "Thieves Like Us," the novel that Raymond Chandler called “one of the great forgotten novels of the 30s,” also available as a kindle eBook produced by Book Revivals Press.
Reviewers have compared Anderson’s lean, fast-paced style to Ernest Hemingway, Dashiell Hammett, William Faulkner, and John Steinbeck.
Written in an evocative, unsentimental, sharp prose rich with forgotten slang, "Hungry Men" paints an extraordinary panorama of hobo life, filled with freight trains, soup kitchens, Hoover hotels, and political demonstrations.
"Hungry Men" is the story of Acel Stecker, an unemployed musician from Oklahoma in his restless path across America willing to do anything to make a living.
