Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Surprising and beautiful forgotten work by a terribly unknown author. Salamanca's unhurried and luxurious prose evokes [[Thomas Wolfe]], and his expression of internal landscapes is reminiscent of [[Sommerset Maugham]]. Don't use the flap blurbs to decide about whether to read this one - it makes the story sound salacious where it is not. Basic story - a young man, lost in his own life, come's back from World War II and begins working at a mental institution. He is manipulated by one of the patients and embarks on a dangerous relationship. A favorite for the year. ( ) no reviews | add a review
