AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Often presented as a gangster, newspaper reporter, or private eye, the city boy seemed the quintessential product of urban America, although he was more a model for his audience than a mirror of social actuality. While blending the stories of the professional and political lives of Cagney, Bogart, and Garfield into one fascinating narrative, Robert Sklar probes the cultural forces that produced this vivid cultural icon and examines its power over masculine self-definition.Robert Sklar is the author of 'City Boys', published 1994 under ISBN 9780691006147 and ISBN 0691006148.
