The Broadway Stories of Damon Runyon

Here are four of the finest Broadway tales by the Guys and Dolls author who invented American prohibition era gangster patois, who was - in use of character, situation, dialogue - a master of the short story. Here are four of them: 'A Sense of Humor', 'Barbecue', 'Social Error' and 'The Snatching of Bookie Bob'. Brilliantly read by Bronxite actor Al Mancini. Credits: cover photo courtesy of Wiki Commons
