SOME LIKE THEM COLD
'In his grotesque but searching tales of baseball players, pugilists, movie queens, songwriters and other such dismal persons #Lardner# set down common American with the utmost precision, and yet with enough imagination to make his work a contribution of genuine and permanent value to the national literature.' - H. L. Mencken, The American Language
