Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the mischievous adventures of the Wildcat, an endearing character who makes his living as a Memphis-style gambler. Despite an absence of hustle in his spirit, the Wildcat's easy-going approach to life and unfailing optimism ensure he experiences the ups and downs of fortune with equal gratitude. The story unfolds during a post-war, pre-Prohibition era in America, a time when the pursuit of pleasure was just beginning to manifest in nightclubs and speakeasies. As the Wildcat navigates this changing world, he is accompanied by his mascot goat, Lily, who, despite embodying the height of goatish obstinacy, somehow brings a stroke of luck to this unlikely pair. The author presents a colorful cast of characters who cross the Wildcat's path, from the saccharine-tongued Honeytone Boone, an opportunistic preacher who offers riches to his congregation, to Gimlet, a tipster with a knack for getting himself into precarious situations. Through each encounter, the Wildcat's infectious spirit and unwavering belief in Lady Luck's favor subtly challenge the people he meets, exposing hypocrisies and reminding them that life is what you make it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332058013_0
