Going All the Way

by Dan Wakefield Narrated by Ben Affleck

Overview

During the course of a long summer, it becomes clear to two young, lost, and bored Korean War vets that their future lies outside Indianapolis-amid the gleaming towers of Manhattan, where they will find glory, fame, and lots of women. Set in the 1950s, this novel by acclaimed author Dan Wakefield seethes with pent-up frustration and confusion, and nearly every episode bubbles with hilarity. Narrated by Ben Affleck, who starred in the film adaptation, Going All the Way perfectly captures its time and place.
