The reader meets a parade of unforgettable characters in compelling a bewitching young madman charms his trusting victim, two strong Basque women battle over an apple tree, a crusty old carnival huckster instructs his adolescent apprentice, an embittered young soldier rescues the dignity of a faded whore, a famous writer learns an unpalatable truth about himself, and more. The feast of Hot Night in the City is both delicious and nourishing, both spicy and satisfying.
