Upton Sinclair (1878–1968) was an American writer, muckraker, and political activist. He was famous for his 1906 muckraking novel, The Jungle, “which exposed labor and sanitary conditions in the U.S. meatpacking industry, causing a public uproar that contributed in part to the passage a few months later of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act” (source: Wikipedia). He won the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his novel Dragon’s Teeth.
