Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Now a major motion picture starring Ian Holm, Hope Davis, and Stanley Tucci, who also directs. Joseph Mitchell was a legendary New Yorker writer and the author of the national bestseller Up in the Old Hotel, in which these two pieces appeared. What Joseph Mitchell wrote about, principally, was New York. In Joe Gould, Mitchell found the perfect subject. And Joe Gould's Secret has become a legendary piece of New York history. Joe Gould may have been the quintessential Greenwich Village bohemian. In 1916, he left behind patrician roots for a scrappy, hand-to-mouth existence: he wore ragtag clothes, slept in Bowery flophouses, and mooched food, drinks, and money off of friends and strangers. Thus he was able to devote his energies to writing An Oral History of Our Time, which Gould said would constitute the informal history of the shirt-sleeved multitude. But when Joe Gould died in 1957, the manuscript could not be found. Where had he hidden it? This is Joe Gould's Secret. [Mitchell is] one of our finest journalists.--Dawn Powell, The Washington Post What people say is history--Joe Gould was right about that-- and history, when recorded by Mitchell, is literature.--The New Criterion.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Obsessed with the idea that talk is history, Joe Gould, who'd downloaded himself from his Harvard-educated life to spend some forty years living from hand to mouth in Greenwich Village as a kind of halfoutcast/half bohemian, immersed himself in the sheer listening to and writing down of the astonishing, offhand things he heard spoken, filling hundreds of dime-store composition books. In 1942, Joseph Mitchell profiledGould in The New Yorker & again, some twenty years later. The two have been combined to form this unique portrait of an original New Yorker, whose passion for language gave birth to the term & genre 'oral history.' 186p.…
