‘the best Philip Roth for the kids’ Roth was only 26 when Houghton Mifflin published his first novella, about a college graduate in Jewish working-class Newark who falls for a spoiled college student from Short Hills, New Jersey. Roth's first collection of fiction includes the titular novella, plus five short stories all set in the parts of New Jersey to which Roth would so often return. This is an early reissue of 'Goodbye, Columbus' published by Corgi Books.
Highly recommend checking out Jason Diamonds' multiple articles on Philip Roth, in particular his piece in GQ on the damning state of mens reading habits and why the boys should pick up some Roth.
