Labor Trade and Capital in a Burglary Tale
A San Francisco style vignette presents two con men, Bill Bassett and Alfred B. Ricks, plotting graft across labor and capital. The narrator recounts travels from Provensane’s restaurant to towns like Los Perros and Monty Silver’s schemes, detailing how crime interfaces with commerce and the ironies of wealth. The piece braids dialogue, satire, and misadventure to critique criminal enterprise and the ethics of labor, trade, and capital.
