SLIM Paperback – January 1, 2013

by William Wister Haines (Author)

3.3 6 ratings

Slim, published in 1934, won him critical and popular acclaim as a writer. The novel was part adventure tale, part social commentary, and part-time capsule of the Great Depression, notable for its realism and its on-target portrayal of working class attitudes and language during that period. Slim continues to have an audience today and is a sought-after book, especially among utility linemen and railfans. In 1937, the novel was made into the movie Slim starring Henry Fonda, with Haines writing the screenplay. The illustrations for the hardcover of Slim were by Robert Lawson and do not appear in the paperback releases.

No where did it say that this book was in French. I cannot read it. I thought I was ordering the English version, and I am terribly disappointed. It will be a cold day in June before I order anything else from Amazon.

Nice Book, kind of rough but readable.
