Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"I read Studs Lonigan my freshman year at Harvard, and it changed my life. . . . I couldn't get over the discovery. I wanted to write"

"Farrell was perhaps the most powerful naturalist who ever worked in the American tradition. . . . Passionately honest and passionately narrow, he brought to his novels the intensity of an autobiographical mission as tortured and complex in its way as Proust."

Reseña del editor:

The first volume of James T. Farrell's remarkable Studs Lonigan trilogy
An American classic in the vein of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, the first book of James T. Farrell's powerful Studs Lonigan trilogy covers five months of the young hero's life in 1916, when he is sixteen years old. In this relentlessly naturalistic yet richly complex portrait, Studs is carried along by his swaggering and shortsighted companions, his narrow family, and his educational and religious background toward a fate that he resists yet cannot escape.
