She was frigid: it was as cruel and simple as that. Frustrated, whiskey-soaked, sick of the substitute women he used, Dan hit bottom. He might. have stayed there for good if Marcia hadn't come along.

First paragraph(s): I got off the subway at 86th and Broadway and clawed my way through the usual mob of people, hauling myself up the stairwell to the street. The air smelled good-even the soot and sweat and all the stinks of New York were good all of a sudden. I felt at home, and I hadn't felt like that since I left New York. It's a funny thing and it's a thing that never fails. If you start in New York you'll never have another home, no matter how long you're away or how many other burgs you hit. The subway was crowded and the air outside was stale and musty, but that didn't make a hell of a lot of difference. Second Printing. Size: 4.25" x 6.75". 174 pages. Text unmarked.
