Word for Word - Guys, Dolls and Busted Dreams - A Damon Runyon Sampler
NYTimes.com: "In Damon Runyon’s New York , times are tough on the street, banks are busted, there is very little scratch anywhere and the song of the day is “Are You Making Any Money?” Runyon’s short stories of New York in the Roaring Twenties and Great Depression were written in a conversational slang he attached to a particular stretch of Broadway filled with guys and dolls with names like Benny South Street, Izzy Cheesecake, Milk Ear Willie and Silk, a Ziegfield dancer."
