Two friends return home from the Korean War to find their world—and themselves—irrevocably altered in this novel hailed by Kurt Vonnegut as “gruesomely accurate and enchanting” and “wildly sexy” Willard “Sonny” Burns and Tom “Gunner” Casselman, Korean War vets and former classmates, reunite on the train ride home to Indianapolis. Despite their shared history, the two young men could not be more different: Sonny had been an introverted, bookish student, whereas Gunner had been the consummate Casanova and athlete—and a popular source of macho pride throughout the high school. Reunited by the pains of war, they go in search of finding love, rebuilding their lives, and shedding the repressive expectations of their families. As Sonny and Gunner seek their true passions, the stage is set for a wounded, gripping account of disillusionment and self-discovery as seen through the lens of the conservative Midwest in the summer of 1954. Rendered in honest prose, national bestseller Going All the Way expertly and astutely captures the joys and struggles of working-class Middle America, and the risks of challenging the status quo. Author Dan Wakefield crafts this enduring coming-of-age tale with fluidity, grace, and deep humanity.

Jorge Luis Borges creía que en los cuentos de Nathaniel Hawthorne se inaugura el modo particular de ensoñación del cual surgirá el lenguaje oceánico de Herman Melville, las pesadillas de Edgar Allan Poe y las alucinaciones de William Faulkner. De hecho, cuando se les pidió a seis escritores argentinos que nombraran sus relatos predilectos, Borges escogió sin vacilar el “Wakefield” de Hawthorne, una “breve y ominosa parábola” que prefigura el mundo de Kafka, autor que a su vez “modifica y afina la lectura de ‘Wakefield’”.

AFTER we had supped, Mrs Arnold politely offered to send a couple of her footmen for my son's baggage, which he at first seemed to decline; but, -upon her pressing the request, he was obliged to inform he, that a stick and a wallet were all the moveable things upon this earth that he could boast off. " Why, aye, my son," cried I, "you left me "but poor, and poor I find you are come back; and "yet, I make no doubt, you have seen a great deal "of the world." "Yes, Sir;" replied my son; " but "travelling after fortune is not the way to secure "her; and indeed, of late, I have desisted from the "puisuit." "1 fancy, Sir," cried Mrs Arnold, that the account of your adventures would be "amusing: the first part of them I have often heard "from my niece; but, could the company prevail "for the rest, it would be an additional obligation." "Madam," replied my son, " I can promise you, the "pleasure you have in hearing will not be half so "great as my vanity in the recital; and yet, in the "whole narrative, I can scarce promise you one ad"venture, as my account is not of what I did, but "what I faw. The first misfortune of my lise, "which you all know, was great; but, though it "distressed, it could not fink me. No person ever "had a better knack at hoping than I. The 'less "kind I found Fortune then, the more I expected "from her another time; and, being now at the "bottom of her wheel, every new revolution might "lift, but could not depress me. I proceeded, there"fore, towards London in a fine morning, no way "uneasy about to-morrow, but cheersul as the birds "that caroled by the road.

Excerpt from Wakefield Worthies: Or Biographical Sketches of Men of Note Connected TO a few friends, who have aided him with infor mation and suggestions, he here returns his warmest thanks more special acknowledgments will be found in the course Of the work. Nor must he forget to pay this slight tribute to the patience and energy Of his publisher, who has spared no pains that the Wakefield Wort/ties, such as they are, should at least lose nothing by their appearance in Wakefield typography. And so he commits this, his first attempt, to the world, the little world Of his native town. The labour spent on it has been no ungrateful one. It is well for one, in populous, city pent, to feel now and then beneath his feet, even in imagination, the soft, springy turf Of the Wakefield Heath, and exchange the faint atmosphere Of crowded streets for the freshening breezes Of the Yorkshire dales. If, in turn, it con tribute to the promotion Of public spirit among his fellow-townsmen, Of that esprit zle corps Of the right sort, which local history is designed to infuse, and, in short, of christian brotherhood in any form, the bene fit will have been mutual.

A reporter uncovers the secrets behind the scientific scam of the century. The news breaks first as a tale of fear and pity. Doctors at a London hospital claim a link between autism and a vaccine given to millions of children: MMR. Young parents are terrified. Immunisation rates slump. And as a worldwide ‘anti-vax’ movement kicks off, old diseases return to sicken and kill. But a veteran reporter isn’t so sure, and sets out on an epic investigation. Battling establishment cover-ups, smear campaigns, and gagging lawsuits, he exposes rigged research and secret schemes, the heartbreaking plight of families struggling with disability, and the scientific deception of our time. Here’s the story of Andrew Wakefield: a man in search of greatness, who stakes his soul on big ideas that, if right, might transform lives. But when the facts don’t fit, he can’t face failure. He’ll do whatever it takes to succeed.
