Pay Day

by Nathan Asch

Excerpt from Pay Day Quicker and quicker he walked toward the sunlight, Harry Grossman hardly able to keep up with him, but hurrying behind him and call What's the rush? Wait for me; but he walked on, went through the big entrance where the doors had been summerlike folded to the sides, went down the great stone steps. The sun was on the right lighting up the Customs House, the statues around it, the sun was red in the windows of the brick Railroad Building. He walked right to the sun. He said to I want to be in the sun for just a moment. He became ashamed of the thought, I don't want sunlight at all. All I want is the subway station, and it's there where the sunlight is. I am going to the subway station and not to the sun. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

[Gustavus · Rating 4 out of 5]

Weird book, like a poor man's Ulysses about a douchey guy wandering around NYC on the night Sacco and Vanzetti are being executed. Barely forces its way into his consciousness, though.
