by Damon Runyon ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 16, 1935
Thirteen short stories by the Ring Lardner of gangdom. All the characters are from the same slice of society -- a questionable group of ruffians, whose sentences suggest the endless flow of the Barker's lingo. Rather fascinating, often irritating, often amusing, but too fast fire for laughter, suggesting rather a continual smile. A book for men to take, in small doses.
