Brugerbedømmelser af The Day of the Locust

  • Martin K. 21. juli 2022

    Super fed lille sag, der er perfekt til denne sommer. Jeg læstr den fordi, jeg havde hørt, at Hunter S. Thompson var meget glad for den. Jeg blev ikke skuffet. Er man interesseret i Californien og Hollywoods golden age + the American Dream så er denne bog perfekt!
