From the opening conversation on a railroad trestle, Beggars of Life rattles along like the Fast Flyer Virginia that Tully boards midway through the story. This is the book that defined Tully’s hard-boiled style and set the pattern for the 12 books that followed over the next two decades. Startling in its originality and intensity, Beggars of Life is a breakneck journey made while clinging to the lowest rungs of the social ladder.

This narrator gives the impression that he is encountering certain words for the first time. No sense of how to deliver anything with any nuance. Total waste of time and a credit. I'm sure the story deserves better but I can't bear to find out!
