Plot Summary of Billy Bathgate
"The story of a teenage boy from New York who idolizes the notorious Dutch Schultz and delves somewhat into Dutch's history and associates, but mainly tells the story straight and intensely from Billy's point of view, from disappointment to excitement, sex and school and orphans, the dilapidation of the neighborhood where he grew up, and society in general." Sarrah, Resident Scholar
