		"Runyon was among the first to 'stylize both the language and the behavior of gangsters and depict them as another part of the socio-eonomic system, showing how the underworld provided clients with gambling, sex and hard-to-get sports tickets and, during Prohibition, with liquor,' said Schwarz.

		Runyon has the most wonderful voice - it is disarmingly confessionaly, sort of like you would expect a poorly educated but street smart gangster to talk in front of judge.
		This is an intelligent compilation of Damon Runyon's short stories, dating from the late 1920s to the mid-1940s.

	Schwarz book on Damon Runyon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The writer and reporter Damon Runyon captured New York City's colorful lowlifes of the 1920s and '30s so indelibly that his legacy still lives on in American popular culture.
		Runyon was among the first to "stylize both the language and the behavior of gangsters and depict them as another part of the socio-eonomic system, showing how the underworld provided clients with gambling, sex and hard-to-get sports tickets and, during Prohibition, with liquor," said Schwarz.
		In addition, Runyon's short stories, with their rough-and-tumble characters and gangsters who live by their own code, and the writer's uncanny ability to dissect "the sham beneath the glitter" have contributed to Americans' continuing fascination with the sleazy side of entertainment, sports and sports gambling, and complicit relationships between criminals and the police.

	Talkin' Broadway - "Damon Runyon's Broadway"
		Runyon was a journalist in the Thirties, and he saw it all --bootleggers, horse players, goldfish swallowers and high society dandies at play.
		Sequined chorus girls like Runyon's Queenie Martin drew diamonds and protection from the millionaires and syndicate gang lords.
		When Runyon wrote about characters like Judge Henry G. Blake --who was not a judge at all but a "well-dressed bum" -- he must have been thinking of some less lovable habitues of Broadway pool halls and game galleries.

		Aside from the fact that many of Damon Runyon's tales have crooks as their protagonists, his stories have little in common with the Rogue School.
