Bad Man is Easy to Find

M. J. Verlaine. St. Martin's Press, $8.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-312-05061-0

Eleven interlocking stories explore the lives of several New York City women and men. `` New Yorker writer Verlaine is a savvy new voice in `slaves of New York' territory,'' PW stated. ``Verlaine superbly catches the flash and dash of `the city whose stories never end,' while universalizing its denizens' drive for survival and love.''
