A housewife, a tramp, a lawyer, a waitress, an actress - ordinary people living ordinary lives in New York at the biginning of this century. (from back cover)
I read a book, New Yorkers: short stories. This book has five short stories. All of them are interesting for me. The most interesting story is 'Soapy's Choice.' Soapy wants to go to the prison during winter because it is so cold. In addition to this, if he stays at prison, he has food and good friends. So, he manages to be arrested by the policeman. He dose bad things, such as breaking a window, stealing someone's umbrella.... However, unfortunately he can't be arrested. One day, he decides to change his mind and spend his new life. He makes up his mind not to do bad things. Then, he is arrested by policeman. It ends in tragedy.
