«Sublime amor juvenil» is the novel by Herman Raucher, author of Verano del 42, published by Martínez Roca in 1985 in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In 1953, Billy Joe McAllister, a seventeen-year-old teenager, throws himself from the Tallahatchie River bridge without anyone understanding why. The event marks the county and inspires the song «La balada de Billy Joe». Herman Raucher turns that mystery into a story of youthful love, secrets, and memory.
Original title: Ode to Billy Joe. Translation by José Ferrer. Belongs to the Fontana joven collection.
For readers of romantic and young adult novels, especially those interested in stories set in the 1950s.
Herman Raucher was an American author and screenwriter who penned the autobiographical screenplay and novel Summer of '42, which became one of the highest-grossing films and one of the best selling novels of the 1970s. Raucher began his writing career during the Golden Age of Television, when he moonlighted as a scriptwriter while working for a Madison Avenue advertising agency. He effectively retired from writing in the 1980s after a number of projects failed to come to fruition, though his books remain in print and a remake of one of his films, Sweet November, was produced in 2001.
