Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "Runaway" is a compelling 1920s novel that explores the tension between the desire for personal liberation and the pull of domestic responsibility. Written by Floyd Dell, a key figure of the American literary avant-garde, the story centers on Michael Shenstone, a man who famously walked away from his life in a stifling small Illinois town to seek adventure and meaning in the wider world.After nearly two decades of wandering and living a bohemian existence, Shenstone returns to his hometown of Beaumont, only to find himself confronted by the ghost of his past and the reality of the daughter he left behind. As his daughter, Amber, struggles with her own rebellious spirit and the constraints of provincial society, the novel delves into the complexities of the father-daughter relationship and the inevitable consequences of choosing self-fulfillment over duty.Dell masterfully portrays the clash between the traditional values of the past and the burgeoning modernism of the early 20th century. Through sharp prose and psychological insight, "Runaway" offers a poignant meditation on whether one can ever truly escape their origins or if the ties that bind us are stronger than the impulse to flee.
