Thirty stories in the incomparably distinctive voice of the author whose publishing career started with the comic novel Rappaport. One story starts with I won a house in a lottery , and proceeds to career seemingly out of control except it isn t. Other stories open in equally startling fashion. Try: Hergesheimer flees his marriage in a twenty-four year- old car ; How do you steal from a thief? ; Show me a man without tantrum and I ll show you a man without blood ; The prettiest damsel in many a moon drops a smile in Hergesheimer s direction, which he, ever the gallant, snatches expertly up, with a bow courteously returns.
