Summary: |
'Goodbye, Columbus' is the story of Neil Klugman and pretty, spirited Brenda Patimkin, who meet one summer break and dive into an affair that is as much about social class and suspicion as it is about love. The novella is accompanied by five short stories - sometimes iconoclastic, sometimes elegiac - that crackle with irreverant originality and display Roth's blazing early talent. |
