Irving Stone
The book Stone considered his best, but most neglected, is a biographical novel based on the life of Eugene V. Debs & his wife Kate, who was opposed to socialism.[1],1. Kate Debs seemed to have been so hostile to Debs's socialist activities--it threatened her sense of middle-class respectability--that novelist Irving Stone was led to call her, in the title of his fictional portrayal of the life of Debs, the Adversary in the House. (Daniel Bell, Marxian Socialism in the United States, footnote on p. 88)
