GUILLOTINE PARTY and Other Stories

Short stories in the vernacular, distinguished by the same stark power that characterize the Studs Lonigan books. American lower middle class -- Chicago Roman Catholics --stories of drink, sex, crime -- gang activities. Life in the raw. Not pleasant, but magnificently done, if you can take it.
