"...thought-provoking examination of Runyon and his historical context..."--T.D. Beal, Choice "...shows how Runyon captured--and in some ways created--the sights and sounds of New York City..."--Frank Herron, Syracuse Post-Standard "If you love anything to do with the history of New York City, Dan Schwarz has written just the book for you."--Union College "...'Runyonese,' evoke[s] a perhaps mythical Manhattan occupied by amusing, sometimes violent or greedy perps."--James Boylan, Columbia Journalism Review "Runyon exerted influence far beyond writing a story and had an enormous impact on popular culture in America. Recommended..."--Katherine E. Merrill, Library Journal "In the vagaries of literary reputation, Damon Runyon survives today more as a byword and a legend than as an author. He is best remembered for his flashy or shady characters, his half-mythical Broadway terrain, and most of all the indelible adaptations of his work, especially Frank Loesser's Guys and Dolls. Daniel Schwarz's book makes a lively case for Runyon as a vernacular poet, a quirky character in his own right, and, with Walter Winchell, a great reporter-impresario of New York's midtown demimonde during its golden years." --Morris Dickstein, CUNY Graduate Center, author of Gates of Eden and Leopards in the Temple "This fascinating and comprehensive study of Damon Runyon at last gives us a scholarly study that places him in company like Aaron Copeland and other major cultural figures that would have surprised him but probably, secretly, delighted him too.

Introduction Runyon's New York: Historical Contexts and Fictional Universe The Eyes and Ears of the City: Runyon's Collected Journalism Runyon's Trial Reporting and the Spectator Culture The Art and Artistry of Runyon's Fiction 5Noir and Sentiment: The Genres of Runyon's Fiction (I) Gangsters, Gamblers, and the Demi-monde: The Genres of Runyon's Fiction (II) The Turps: Domesticity in Brooklyn
Synopsis
While analyzing Damon Runyon's high spirited work in terms of historical contexts, popular culture, and of the changing function of the media, Schwarz argues that in his columns and stories Runyon was an indispensable figure in creating our public images of New York City culture, including our interest in the demi-monde and underworld that explains in part the success of The Godfather films and The Sopranos . In his lively and exuberant chapters that include a panoramic view of New York City between the World Wars - with a focus on its colourful nightlife - Schwarz examines virtually every facet of Runyon's career from sports writer, daily columnist, trial reporter, and Hollywood figure to the author of the still widely-read short stories that were the source of the Broadway hit Guys and Dolls . As part of his discussion of Runyon's art and the artistry of Runyon's fiction, Schwarz skilfully examines the special language of the Broadway stories known as 'Runyonese', and explains how 'Runyonese' has become an adjective for describing flamboyant behaviour.
