New York Times- bestselling author : The classic comic story of a con man out to pull the job of a lifetimein New York's Garment District. Just south of Times Square, more than six thousand manufacturers of dresses are crammed into the few blocks that make up Manhattan's garment district. Their factories are cramped, noisy, and incredibly profitable-and Harry Bogen is going to take them for all they're worth. A classic conniver, he knows that it's easier, and a hell of a lot more fun, to turn a buck by lying than by telling the truth. First he convinces the shipping clerks-the pack animals of the garment industry-to go on strike. With the dress manufacturers brought to their knees, Harry will be there to pick them up again. His conscience might be conflicted, if he had one in the first place. A bracing comic sensation when first published, I Can Get It for You Wholesale remains a timeless masterpiece-its hero still a scoundrel, and his charm as irresistible as ever. This ebook features a foreword by Alistair Cooke.
Autorenporträt
Jerome Weidman (1913-1998) was an American novelist and playwright. Born in New York's Lower East Side, he began selling short fiction at the age of seventeen to magazines such as Story,the American Mercury, and the New Yorker; the latter published twenty-three of his short works between 1936 and 1946. Weidman's first novel, I Can Get It for You Wholesale (1937), made him a national sensation. A story of greed in Manhattan's infamous garment district, it was as controversial as it was popular. Weidman went on to write more than twenty novels, including Fourth Street East (1970), Last Respects (1971), and What's in It for Me? (1938), a sequel to his hit debut novel. In 1959, he co-wrote the musical Fiorello!, about New York's most famous mayor, which won a Pulitzer Prize and a New York Drama Critics Circle award. Weidman continued publishing fiction until late in his life, and died in New York.
