<p>Sinclair's 1927 novel did for California's oil industry what "The Jungle" did for Chicago's meat-packing factories. In "Oil!" Upton Sinclair fashioned a novel out of the oil scandals of the Harding administration, providing in the process a detailed picture of the development of the oil industry in Southern California. Bribery of public officials, class warfare, and international rivalry over oil production are the context for Sinclair's story of a genial independent oil developer and his son, whose sympathy with the oilfield workers and socialist organizers fuels a running debate with his father. Senators, small investors, oil magnates, a Hollywood film star, and a crusading evangelist people the pages of this lively novel.</p>

Oil!: A Novel (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Oil!: A NovelShufﬂe the cards, and deal a new round of poker hands they differ in every way from the previous round, and yet it is the same pack of cards, and the same game, with the same spirit, the players grim-faced and silent, surrounded by a haze of tobacco-smoke.SO with this novel, a picture of civilization in Southern California, as the writer has Observed it during eleven years' residence. The picture is the truth, and the great mass of detail actually exists. But the cards have been shufﬂed; names, places, dates, details Of character, episodes - everything has been dealt over again. The only personalities to be recognized in this book are three presidents Of the United States who have held Office during the past fifteen years. Manifestly, one could not shufﬂe these, without destroying all sense Of reality. But the reader who spends his time seeking to identify Oil magnates and moving picture stars will be wasting time, and perhaps doing injustice to some individual, who may happen to have shot Off his toe to collect accident insurance, but may not happen to be keeping a mistress or to have bribed a cabinet official.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
