Dangling Man

When his induction into the army is delayed, Joseph finds himself facing a year of idleness. This journal presents an account of his restless wanderings through Chicago's streets, his musings on the past, his psychological reaction to his inactivity while war rages around him, and his uneasy insights into the nature of freedom and choice.

Cand introducerea lui in armata este amanata, Joseph se trezeste in fata unui an de lenevie. Acest jurnal prezinta o relatare a ratacirilor sale nelinistite pe strazile din Chicago, gandurile sale asupra trecutului, reactia sa psihologica la inactivitatea lui in timp ce razboiul se dezlantuie in jurul lui si intuitiile sale nelinistite asupra naturii libertatii si alegerii.
