Dave Hirsh, writer and war veteran, returns to his hometown with a prostitute and clashes with the prejudices of provincial life. The story contrasts a torrent of passions with the tedium of the surroundings, criticizes hypocritical and sterile puritanism, and delves into love, loneliness and the search for identity.
Spanish translation of the novel «Some Came Running». This edition was published in 1980.
For readers of American narrative classics and post-war novels.
