Beschreibung
Let's take a young drifter, drop him off at a lonely gas station somewhere in California, and start with the sentence, 'They kicked me out of the hay truck sometime around noon.' The weight of that sentence is enormous. It fully characterizes the hero. Let's repeat this remarkable sentence, and we won't leave its story – except on the last page. The plot rushes forward under the hot Californian sun like a dog on a hot trail, going through a series of emotional twists, accusations, and reconciliations, filled with restless, intriguing, and flawed people and bad decisions in an atmosphere of crime, greed, and desire... and human nature. How easily people bury the highest values, love, and belonging! A brilliant novel, sincere and honest, ranked among the best literary works of all time, inspired by Zola's Thérèse Raquin, which in turn inspired Camus's The Stranger. And the title? It is a metaphor for justice, which may come only the second time around.
