A collection of memoirs from the author and screenwriter Ben Hecht, capturing his friendship and encounters with 'men of his generation' including Sherwood Anderson, Gene Fowler, Charles MacArthur and Maxwell Bodenheim. It is a 'raffish, hard-nosed' look into their lives, reflecting Hecht's own career in Chicago and Hollywood.
