From a late-night visit from a fugitive father to a cat locked in a coke machine, it's neighborhood lore and barroom brags, hard luck laments and desperate measures. They say write what you know and that's what I know. TWO STREET TOM LARSEN Tom Larsen lives in the Pennsport section of South Philadelphia, home to Mummers, Flyers and that "screw you" slant that made this city great. For a writer auditioning characters, the 19148 zip is a casting gold mine. Tom worked as a journeyman pressman for thirty years before scrapping it all for the writer's life. His work has appeared in Raritan, The Los Angeles Review, Philadelphia Stories Magazine, New Millennium Writing and Best American Mystery Stories.
