A pilgrimage through the American century, this memoir tells the story of an award-winning screenwriter during the vanished age of the studio system—an existence made stranger by membership in the Hollywood branch of the American Communist Party. Lardner retraces the path that led him to a memorable confrontation with the House Committee on Un-American Activities and later to federal prison and life on the Hollywood blacklist. One of the lucky few who were able to resume their careers, Lardner won yet another Oscar for the screenplay to M.A.S.H. in 1970.

Una mirada al último siglo Americano, esta autobiografía cuenta la historia de un galardonado guionista durante la época antigua del sistema "estudio" del cine. La historia se vuelve aún más complicada ya que el autor es miembro del partido Comunista Americano. Lardner recuerda el camino que lo trajo a su famosa confrontación con el comité encargado de descubrir y castigar a los comunistas, después a la cárcel federal y luego a la lista negra de Hollywood. Uno de los pocos que logró continuar su carrera, Lardner consiguió ganar su segundo premio Oscar en 1970 por el guión de la película M.A.S.H.
