Damon Runyon Omnibus
This compilation of the American newspaperman and short story writer Damon Runyon's works is sure to leave you in stitches. Runyon was best known for his short tales celebrating the world of Broadway in New York City, a world that grew out of the Prohibition era of the early twentieth century. To New Yorkers of his generation, a "Damon Runyon character" evoked a distinctive social type from Brooklyn or Midtown Manhattan. He spun humorous and sentimental tales of gamblers, hustlers, actors, and gangsters, few of whom go by "square" names, preferring instead colorful monikers such as "Nathan Detroit", "Benny Southstreet", "Big Jule", "Harry the Horse", "Good Time Charley", "Dave the Dude", or "The Seldom Seen Kid".
Damon Runyon Favorites
MASTER OF THE MAIN STEM! Here are some stories by Damon Runyon—the man who, according to Walter Winchell, knows more about the Roaring Forties than any other writing man. Included are many of the stories that have made him famous. There are “Little Miss Marker,” “The Hottest Guy in the World,” and “Madame La Gimp,” who went Hollywood and became the celebrated Lady for a Day. You’ll enjoy meeting some of Mr. Runyon’s friends, socially. You’ll like Harry the Horse and Spanish John and Little Isadore—hard characters, perhaps, but they would be hurt if you called them kidnapers. Then there’s Big False Face, the Beer Baron. The police sent him to college at a place called Auburn, N. Y., and he also did post-graduate work at Ossining and Dannemora. And you’ll meet Princess O’Hara and Goldberg, her horse, named after a guy who runs a delicatessen store on Tenth Avenue, and Last Card Louie, and The Brain himself. A veritable banquet is contained in these pages for all those who like their Runyon straight.
Guys and Dolls and Other Stories
Slick, upbeat and funny, these stories inspired the popular musical and film Guys and Dolls. 'Of all the high players this country ever sees, there is no doubt but that the guy they call the Sky is the highest. He will bet all he has, and nobody can bet any more than this'.
