Dust of New York

Dust of New York is a collection of short stories by Konrad Bercovici where the city of New York plays an integral part in each. Excerpt: «Some people call him Signor, but he is better known as „Unique“ and many more people call him „Signor Unique.“ He is a bent little man in a long green Prince Albert coat that was once black. A short gray beard frames a pale face in squashed folds on which squats a flat nose. Bushy, low-arched eyebrows shade two little eyes which move rapidly up and down and in and out of their orbs as move scared little mice in their hole.»
