The depression of the 1930's led people to desperate measures to survive. The Marathon Dance Craze, which flourished at that time, seemed a simple way for people to earn extra money - dancing the hours away for case. But, the underside of that Craze was filled with a competition and violence unknown to most ballrooms. Horace McCoy's classic American story captures the dark side in this powerful novel.
Horace McCoy was the author of several classic American noir novels, including the Midnight Classic I Should Have Stayed Home. The film of They Shoot Horses, Don't They? starred Jane Fonda, Michael Sarrazin, Susannah York and Red Buttons. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
