Joe Gould's Secret
"This book is an original. I can think of absolutely nothing like it."--Doris Lessing"A little masterpiece of observation and storytelling."--Ian McEwan"Joseph Mitchell is one of our finest journalists, unique in his compassion and understanding for the haunted little lost men such as Joe Gould. He transforms a forlorn, intolerably pathetic gentleman panhandler into an engaging, Dickensian orphan rogue."--Dawn Powell, The Washington Post (1965)--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
