Title: The Slang Writer
Review: Damon Runyon was a writer who called eyeglasses "cheaters." To be very angry was to be "more than somewhat" mad. He glorified gangsters and sports figures of the 1920's and '30's. He drank a lot and smoked a lot. He later gave up the booze and drank waterfalls of coffee. The quitting of smoking was too late, as cancer ate his vocal chords and at the end he wrote notes to communicate. His was a more innocent time than ours. Read him for the entertaining escape.
