Summary

Horace McCoy: They kill horses too, don't they?

A little masterpiece! That's how American critics in 1935, full of praise, accompanied the publication of Horace McCoy's debut novel And Horses Are Killed, Don't They? The novel was also highly appreciated in France, in the circles of the artistic and literary avant-garde, especially among the existentialists - Sartre and Simon de Beauvoir praised it as a breakthrough and the arrival of the existentialist novel from America, and the author was classified alongside Hemingway and Faulkner.
Today, in the perception of the majority, Sydney Pollack's film version from 1969, which is somewhat milder than the original, is certainly more famous, and Sareni dučan draws attention with this edition. to another somewhat forgotten but exceptional novel. In it, the author describes a dance marathon in an almost disturbingly cold but brutal way, which becomes a metaphor for the inexorable cruel action of the capitalist system in the economic crisis. Similar inhumane marathons, falabog, no longer exist today, although in the 1930s, during the great economic crisis in America, they were very popular - they used to last for weeks and the poor contestants were forced to dance frantically for hundreds of hours, exhausting themselves to the limit, in order to win a prize and at least temporarily escape from the environment of hopelessness and hopelessness.
