Damon Runyon,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Damon Runyon Omnibus (Hardcover)
The Omnibus is a collection of essential Runyon that, for some reason, doesn't seem to be in print. This is a crime! I was glad to find an affordable copy in good shape.

The Slang Writer,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Damon Runyon Omnibus (Hardcover)
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.
