Daniel R. Schwarz - Broadway Boogie Woogie:

Damon Runyon and the Making of New York City Culture

"...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 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 left, and, with Walter Winchell, a great reporter-impresario of New York's midtown demimonde during its golden years." --Morris Dickstein, CUNY Graduate left, 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. Bravo!" --William R. Taylor, author of In Pursuit of Gotham and editor of Inventing Times Square
