Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Cain's longest novel, The Moth is a wander across Depression era America. Jack Dillon goes from child singer to football star to hobo to oil man to war hero. If the book has a fault it's that Jack is too much of a superman. I thought this was one of Cain's better novels which has been unjustly neglected. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Distincions
A novel of a privileged young man's twisting, troubled journey through Depression-era America, by the author of Mildred Pierce. From birth, Jack Dillon is a golden child. Blessed with blond locks, glittering eyes, and a perfect voice, he is the most popular child singer in Baltimore. But when puberty robs him of his voice and the stock market wipes out his family fortune, Jack is forced to rebuild. Over the next fifteen years, Jack will see it all. From Maryland to California and back again, he will become a football star, a soldier, and a tramp. Through it all, he never loses his eye for beauty, or his hunger for a woman he has known since childhood. To find happiness in the face of the Depression, Jack will have to remember that no matter how the world has changed him, part of his soul remains as pure as the first note he sang.
