A Dandy Little Game


en Limba Engleză Paperback
Johnny Sharansky is a forty-three-year-old gambler who has avoided gainful employment for twenty-three years. He takes big risks, crazy risks sometimes, but none bigger or crazier than his pursuit of a young, high-class shiksa, Margaret, who is fascinated by organized crime figures. His infatuation lands him in deep trouble with the law, the blue-blood's fiance, and the Chicago mob. Johnny is savvy and slick, but he still has a big lesson to learn, and his North Shore obsession is ready to teach the well-heeled gambler A Dandy Little Game. Set in Chicago in 1944, McCulloch's novel evokes a period of post-Capone operators, petty racketeers and high-society ingenues waiting out World War II."

Notă biografică

After dropping out of college (twice), Bill went into journalism and had a 25-year newspaper career, capped by five years as the editor of a small New England daily. Before, during, and after that career, he moonlighted as Windy City Slim, a performer of traditional American music. Among other literary projects, he collaborated with folklorist Barry Lee Pearson on a critically praised book, Robert Johnson: Lost and Found (University of Illinois Press, 2003).
