«¿Acaso no matan a los caballos?» is the novel by Horace McCoy, published by Navona in hardback (160 pages, in Spanish).
In the Hollywood of the thirties, Gloria and a young man adrift sign up for a dance marathon to get food and a place to sleep. The show becomes a ruthless struggle to survive before an audience entertained by others' misery; only the last couple standing receives the prize. Gloria then asks the protagonist a favour.
Translated from the English by Enrique de Hériz; it belongs to Navona's Los ineludibles collection. The novel was adapted to film in 1969 under the title Danzad, danzad, malditos.
For readers of crime fiction and classic American fiction interested in stories with a social background.
Horace Stanley McCoy was an American writer whose mostly hardboiled stories took place during the Great Depression. His best-known novel is They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1935), which was made into a movie of the same name in 1969, fourteen years after McCoy's death.
