A native of Iowa, he moved to New York City in the 1930s where he was a journalist for the New York World-Telegram. He was the President of The Newspaper Guild from 1934 to 1940. In 1940, he married Leane Zugsmith. After the Second World War, he and his wife visited Japan and China to work as correspondents for the newspaper PM. Randau co-wrote The Setting Sun of Japan (1942) and The Visitor (1944) with his wife Leane Zugsmith. He passed away in 1969 at the age of 75.
Leane Zugsmith (18 January 1903 - 13 October 1969) was an American writer. She was born in Louisville, Kentucky to Albert Zugsmith and Gertrude Appel. She lived in New York City, where she became a leftist journalist, proletarian writer and activist. She and playwright Carl Randau formed a salon, where she entertained guests such as Lillian Hellman, Dashiell Hammett, Heywood Broun, and Louis Kronenberger. Zugsmith wrote short stories and novels, including All Victories Are Alike (1929), about a disillusioned newspaper columnist; The Summer Soldier (1931), which tells the story of a civil rights committee that investigates allegations of violence against workers in a southern town; and Never Enough: A Novel (1932). Her younger brother, Albert Zugsmith, was an American film producer, film director and screenwriter who specialized in low-budget exploitation films through the 1950s and 1960s. Zugsmith died in 1969, aged 66.vizualizați mai puține
