«Oi que maten els cavalls?» is the crime novel by Horace McCoy, published by Edicions 62 in hardcover (96 pages, in Catalan).
Set in the 1930s, it tells the story of a couple who enter a dance marathon, an exhausting competition where participants compete for a prize while the audience turns their endurance into a spectacle. The tension and concealed violence among the contestants expose the cruelest side of this mass entertainment.
Originally published in English as «They Shoot Horses, Don't They?» in 1935. Part of the Seleccions de la Cua de Palla collection.
General audience; suitable for readers of classic and crime fiction and for those seeking a short work of social criticism.
