I p...Just what I'd expect from a Runyon cover. I personally am not a fan of Runyon, but he is an iconic 20th century author. Shame he's not remembered by many. If you don't know the author, some may know of the Damon Runyon 5K race run every year at Yankee Stadium or the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. Unfortunately, their missions aside, neither organization seems to promote or talk about him much, if at all. Damon Runyon is iconic 1920's-1940's New York. The 1920's gangsters at gin joints, lunch counters, rolling dice in alleys, etc - that's Runyon.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097441437159417314noreply@blogger.com
