Twenty gritty stories by the Academy Award–winning writer of On the
Waterfront and A Face in the Crowd. Despite growing up among
Hollywood’s most powerful producers and movie stars in the 1920s and
’30s, Budd Schulberg was always a populist at heart. In this
collection of his best short fiction, Schulberg takes readers from the
halls of privilege in Los Angeles to smoky dives and dockyard slums in
New York. His eye for detail and nose for trouble render characters as
vividly as a Weegee photograph. These stories also represent the great
clash of people and ideas in mid-century America. The collection
includes “The Arkansas Traveler,” the story Schulberg adapted into
the influential, prescient film A Face in the Crowd starring Andy
Griffith. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd
Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from
the author’s estate.
