"Examining traces of family history in FBI files and anti-communist congressional hearings, Special Subcommittee questions the revolutionary legacy we inherit from the 20th century. Against the American subcommittees of organized repression, Solomon invents a committed lyric of queer and un-American communist relation, filling the void left by the state's redactions and the sentimental machinery of family history with best friends, rants, jokes, doggerel, and at least one threesome."--Provided by publisher.
