More Than Somewhat

More Than Somewhat

I have made this selection of Damon Runyonâ€™s stories with the idea of showing as many aspects as possible of his narrative genius, ranging as they do from the most uproarious farce to such sadness as goes to the depths of the heart. The note of pathos is not often touched, it is true: when it is, it gains force from the contrast with its setting of quaint, unemotional, unconscious cynicism. If, after reading The Lily of St. Pierre in this book you do not agree with that judgment, thenâ€”as Runyonâ€™s narrator would sayâ€”you must be such a guy as will never be moved by anything short of an earthquake.
