They were honest mean and thieves, pimps and panderers and men of virtue. Therewere beautiful women and delicious girls, handsome men with the faces of swines... ' 'They were all gamblers in a game with no rules, placing their bets debonairly or in the sweat of fear... ' These are some of the characters in Irwin Shaw's bestselling EVENING IN BYZANTIUM.
