night squad

I enjoyed this book and others by David Goodis. I was in the process of researching philadelphia local history and his books were good resources. He writes stories about Grassroot people. From a victim's point of view. The Majoity of the stories of his that I read center in Fishtown,Kensington, skidrow,Delaware Avenue area,South Philly before the redevelpment tore down those areas described in the book during the 1950s and 1960s to provide for the expressway, I-95 and modern Philadelphia. David P. Goodis' story is well written and characters real.

A David Goodis classic.

David Goodis could have been a Greek tragedy author two thousand years ago. In a riveting and limpid style David goodis classic hero is looking for redemption in a world where the goodies are bad and the baddies are good.
