Runyon On Broadway by Damon Runyon

A collection of crisp, comic tales from the neon-lit Broadway underworld, following gamblers, hustlers, chorus girls, and small-time racketeers through wagers, romances, and double-crosses. Narrated in a distinctive, deadpan street argot, the stories blend wit and sentiment as luck runs hot and cold, loyalty is tested, and fate turns on a dime, creating a lively portrait of a bustling demi-monde that later inspired a beloved musical.
