En 'Scoundrel Time', Lillian Hellman relata su experiencia al ser llamada a testificar ante el Comité de Actividades Antiamericanas de la Cámara de Representantes en 1952. A pesar del miedo, Hellman se negó a incriminarse a sí misma o a otros, evitando así un juicio. Sin embargo, esta experiencia le trajo controversia y pérdidas devastadoras. Publicado originalmente en 1972, este relato presenta un elenco de personajes notables, incluyendo a su amante, el novelista Dashiell Hammett, y una serie de amigos y colegas famosos, así como a un grupo de 'villanos': políticos ambiciosos y despiadados y aquellos que cedieron a sus demandas.
Lillian Florence Hellman was an American playwright, prose writer, memoirist, and screenwriter known for her success on Broadway as well as her communist views and political activism. She was blacklisted after her appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) at the height of the anti-communist campaigns of 1947–1952. Although she continued to work on Broadway in the 1950s, her blacklisting by the U.S. film industry caused a drop in her income. Many praised Hellman for refusing to answer HUAC's questions, but others believed, despite her denial, that she had belonged to the Communist Party.
