  1. Charlie Huston _ Caught Stealing

  2. Charlie Huston _ Sleepless

    Ca oameni, nu facem decât să ne prezentăm. Compunem imaginea pe care vrem s-o vadă ceilalţi şi sperăm că ei au s-o citească aşa cum am scris-o noi. Toată lumea face asta.

  3. Charlie Huston _ Half the Blood of Brooklyn

    I size him up. A pasty jumble of limbs in latex-tight sharkskin slacks with three inches of white socks showing at the ankles above two-tone patent leather, a jacket matching the slacks stretched over narrow shoulders and an embroidered cowboy shirt with silver caps on the points of the collar, a bolo tie featuring a cockroach frozen in amber snug around his throat.

  4. Charlie Huston _ Half the Blood of Brooklyn

    That's what happens when you get a regular job, other people's shit becomes your problem. 'Course, by the time you got that figured, it's up around your ears and you're just trying to keep your fucking mouth shut.

  5. Charlie Huston _ Skinner

    And a realization for Skinner, she still has his scarf, inside her mountaineering jacket, red wool at her neck. Some meaning there related to the kiss, but in a code he cannot unscramble. A tether is what it feels like, his scarf around her neck, preventing either of them from falling off the mountain alone.

  7. Charlie Huston _ Every Last Drop

    There something I can do to get this over with quick? Like, can I just run in front of a cab and take my lumps and we call it even? As opposed to you cutting off my nose and all, I mean.

  9. Charlie Huston _ Every Last Drop

    I could flay you and wear your skin as a cloak, and caper in the streets in the moonlight. But some might consider that crass treatment of a guest."I nod."Well, some people got no sense of humor, do they?""I am one of those people.

  11. Charlie Huston _ Every Last Drop

    At Marcy I spot what I am looking for and shimmy up a lampost and untangle the pair of sneakers that some kid has tossed up there that dangle in testement to some shit that I have never figured out as long as I have lived in this city. I sit on the curb and stuff my feet inside leaving the laces undone. There too small but the right one fits a little better than the left. Not having a big toe is already paying off.
    book-quote

  12. Charlie Huston _ Every Last Drop

    ."...and look down the glowing store front of a 24 hr bodega. I am not overly concerned about going in there with one bare foot and a considerable amount of dried blood on my clothing. This is the Bronx after all. But best to minimize the visual impact I might make.
