In his long career as a confidence man, Joseph "Yellow Kid" Weil swindled the public of more than eight million dollars and established the reputation for robbery and trickery. Always beating the police at their own game, "Yellow Kid" used phony oil deals, women, fixed races, and an endless list of other tricks to best an increasingly gullible public. Originally published in 1948, Con Man now appears in a new edition, part of Broadway's Library of Larceny series, and here is Weil's story as never before, with a smart and witty afterword by none other than Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow, who profiled "Yellow Kid" for The Reporter in 1956. It is undeniable proof that "Yellow Kid" was the con man who was all con men. 334 pages, paper bound. 1948, 2004.
