Guys and Dolls and Other Writings by Daniel R. Schwarz, Pete Hamill, Damon Runyon

tartancrusader's review against another edition

5.0

Runyon is, to my mind, the closest America has come to producing a Wodehouse of its own. As a lifelong fan of Plum I do not make this comparison lightly. These stories are a joy and are full to bursting with friends you haven't yet met; Dave the Dude, the Lemon Drop Kid, Harry the Horse, Spanish John and (my personal favourite) Nicely Nicely Jones.
