After seeing the reviews, it made me question whether I should give this a go, but it was surprisingly good. But for such a small book, it sure did drag at times, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ending.

A quick, nifty little noir examining working class/lower-middle class folks in 1930s Philly. Don’t expect anything propulsive like some of Goodis’ tales. This is more of a character study. Goodis is as talented as anyone at using sparse, minimalist noir tropes to examine people in greater detail.
