kenjariThe Golden Spur
by Dawn Powell
This novel had a charming almost Tom Waits feel to it. It's set among the down-and-out bohemian set in New York during the 1950s, and is about a young man who has come to the city to find out the truth about his parents. However, the story ends up being just a framework for a collection of wry peeks into the lives of a motley collection of New Yorkers either living a bohemian lifestyle, or living on the fringes of it. Powell really captures the time, place, and people extremely well.
