Goodbye, Columbus
Goodbye, Columbus | Philip Roth
7 posts | 23 read | 14 to read
National Book Award Winner Philip Roth's brilliant career was launched when the unknown twenty-five-year-old writer won the Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship for a collection that was to be called Goodbye, Columbus, and which, in turn, captured the 1960 National Book Award. In the famous title story, perhaps the best college love story ever written, Radcliffe-bound Brenda Patimkin initiates Neil Klugman of Newark into a new and unsettling society of sex, leisure, and loss. Over the years, most of the other stories have become classics as well.

Current read. Bought this at a thrift store about 30 years ago and had it in my TBR pile ever since. My first Roth.

It was'nt bad, but I have to admit that I don't like this 50's-60's beat books. I won't read more, it's just not my style.

1. Scrabble.
2. Spain!
3. I‘m 6 books behind on my Goodreads goal but I‘ve been reading a lot of chunksters! But really happy with my variety of history, poetry, novels, genres.
4. Phillip Roth! Some writing is dated but he is wicked funny. Goodbye, Columbus. And prescient: The Plot Against America.
5. What children‘s book had the most lasting impact on you?

Scochrane26 I think now that The Best Christmas Pageant Ever has a huge effect on me. The family that is poor & badly behaved are like the kids & families I work with now. 5y
marleed Charlottes Web read by my :3rd grade teacher who was named Charlotte. My mother died when I was two. My teacher was so kind and beautiful- I wanted her to be my mom so badly! 5y

And a block away from the St. Agnes #NYPL branch is my favorite branch of @bookculture on Columbus Avenue. Was able to snap a quick pic in between students. #bookstorelove #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge
