Fascinating! Written quite some time ago but still very relevant.
Deborah
Beautifully written, an absolute treasure from a bygone era when the NYC subway was only 15 cents.
The common thread among each unique character was a reinforcement that I'd never ever be organized enough to get by in New York City without any money.

I didn't have a chance to finish this book, but I really enjoyed the anecdotes about bizarre personalities living in NYC in the 1950s. The author writes in an easy, entertaining manner, and his subjects are worthy of their own novels.
