Description

Among the most accomplished writers and screenwriters of our period (Why Is Sammy Run?, On the Waterfront), Budd Schulberg is just a master of the-art of the short-story, as he demonstrated in his early selection Some People in the Group. The group may be the National landscape: marked figures attracted coast-to-coast in the teeming streets of Ny to platforms at Hollywood's famous club, Ciro's. In these glowing tales, Schulberg provides us vibrant, disturbed people haunted by failure in the aftermath of quick achievement. In "The Arkansas Traveler" he provides us Larry "Lonesome" Rhodesis down home tales of Question, Illinois, which later became the material of the famous film A Face in the Crowd.
