GOODBYE, COLUMBUS first appeared in THE PARIS REVIEW, one of the prestigious publications to offer its exhilarating approval to a young Roth: "In the beginning it simply amazed him that any truly literate audience could seriously be interested in his store of tribal secrets, in what he knew, as a child of his neighborhood, about the rites and taboos of his clan - about their aversions, their aspirations, their fears of deviance and defection, their underlying embarrassments and their ideas of success" (Roth, "Goodbye Newark"). 7'' x 4.75''. Original blue cloth with gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped (10s 6d) pictorial dust jacket by Adrian Bailey. 157, [1] pages.
