Biography:
The men who stay at the Savoy Hotel where Mink's wife works in The Hamlet are described as horse-traders, jurors and insurance agents who sell to Negroes, a clientele that justifies the place's "equivocal reputation" (288). It is also rumored that some of these men pay her for sex, but that's not made explicit.
