Annotation |
Cohn writes of the characters one meets while walking up New York's Broadway. His guide is Russian taxi driver Sasha Zim, who speaks in jumbled cliches and introduces Cohn to elderly has-beens, skilled pickpockets (liberty boosters), and a variety of transvestites including Lush Life. Cohn spends enough time with these characters to tell their stories and their reasons for frequenting the Great White Way. Strong language and some descriptions of sex.
