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.
