Romance na latitude 40
Neste conto exemplar de Damon Runyon, o narrador descreve com olhar aguçado, em primeira pessoa, conflitos e personagens típicos dos bares e clubes novaiorquinos dos anos 1920 e 1930
Dave the Dude, um sujeito marrento envolvido no contrabando de mercadorias, se vê encantado por Billy Perry, uma dançarina do Sixteen Hundred Club. Paralelamente, Waldo Winchester, um repórter local, visita os estabelecimentos da região a trabalho e acaba se aproximando perigosamente de Billy Perry. É nesse ambiente regado a álcool, subornos e repleto de figurões, muitos deles de índole duvidosa, que Runyon constrói uma trama crescente de tensão e geniosa comicidade.
Com tradução e prefácio de Jayme da Costa Pinto, o conto pertence também a seleção intitulada Eles e elas: Contos da Broadway, publicada pela CARAMBAIA, com outros nove contos do autor americano.
