Raymond DeCapite (1924–2009), a native Clevelander, drew on his family and his community heritage as inspiration for his books. His father and his maternal grandparents were immigrants from Italy. A graduate of Cleveland public schools, DeCapite received both his B.A. and M.A. from Western Reserve University. He knew the harder side of fighting for a living just as his characters did, having worked as a shipping clerk, a restaurant employee, a cashier, and a crane oiler. He was the recipient of the Cleveland Arts Prize, the Ohioana Award, and the Cleveland Critics’ Circle Award.Aaron Cometbus is a publisher, writer, and bookseller with a love for the small press.

“A small miracle of precise writing and nuanced detail.” —Thomas Baughman, As It Ought to Be Magazine “Through a masterful use of dialogue, it tells the tale of a man whose spirit has survived a hard life. Christy is an aging, lonely veteran who sweeps trash at the West Side Market, working hard when nobody’s looking, challenging his supervisors, befriending the merchants, and cutting out frequently to toss down shots as Sharkey’s Bar.”— Frank Green, Cleveland Free Times “Deeply affecting.”—Dennis Dooley, writing for the Cleveland Arts Prize in Literature
