Synopsis

As a young man, Jim Tully set off on the road and on the railroad tracks, meeting all sorts of marginalized figures. He also cut his teeth as an author with this book, which was adapted into a movie and is credited with establishing the hard-boiled fiction style that later defined the work of authors such as Ernest Hemingway, Henry David Thoreau, and Jack Kerouac. *El joven Jim se lanza a la vida en la carretera y en las vìas de tren, donde interactúa con todo tipo de personajes que viven en la marginalidad. Jim Tully se consagró como autor gracias a este libro, que se convirtió en un best seller y fue llevado a la gran pantalla en una pelìcula muda dirigida por William A. Wellman y protagonizada por Louise Brooks, Wallace Beery y Richard Arlen. Con Buscavidas nace el hardboiled, una manera de entender la literatura que luego definirìa la obra de autores como Ernst Hemingway, Henry David Thoreau o Jack Kerouac.*
