DETOUR AT NIGHT

by Guy Endore ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 13, 1958

.... for Frank Willis, on the road for four years, brings him back to the town where he had known the humiliation of his namelessness and-the nothingness of years in an orphanage, compensated only by his passion for words and their associative patterns which constantly crowd his thoughts. A secondary interest- in a student, her murder in which he had been suspect, his exoneration in which a wealthy woman had shared, brings him to the deadend here and perhaps a new beginning.... The word play's the thing- and it's a staggering, stunning display in which the crime itself is submerged.
