«¿Acaso no matan a los caballos? (Danzad, danzad, malditos)» is the crime novel by Horace McCoy, published by Planeta in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
During the Great Depression, a dance marathon becomes the setting for a reflection on survival: contestants compete for a prize that represents their only economic way out. The novel portrays the exhaustion, rivalry and desperation of characters trapped in the spectacle.
The novel was originally published as «They Shoot Horses, Don't They?» in 1935; this edition is from 1985, no. 9 of Bestsellers Serie Negra, with translation by José Rovira Sánchez and Pilar Giralt Gorina.
A work aimed at readers of classic crime fiction and those seeking a social portrait of America during the Great Depression.
Horace Stanley McCoy was an American writer whose mostly hardboiled stories took place during the Great Depression. His best-known novel is They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1935), which was made into a movie of the same name in 1969, fourteen years after McCoy's death.
