Infos

In a series of essays, Runyon, reflects on the frank, often outrageous opinions of his ';old man,' who knows a thing or two about just about everythingand even if he doesn't, he'll tell you anyway. Damon Runyons old man is neither a small-time Broadway crook, nor a modest Brooklyn Babbitt He is a salty old commentator on men, women and manners, who says what he thinks with more force and frequency than tact. My Old Man is a classic collection of humorous observations about life from bankers to windbags, and its as relevant and funny today as it was when it was first published in 1939.
