Philip Roth's debut novella and Winner of the National Book Award
for Fiction Goodbye, Columbus is the story of Neil Klugman and
pretty, spirited Brenda Patimkin, he of poor Newark, she of
suburban Short Hills, who meet one summer and fall 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 irreverent
originality and display Roth's blazing early talent. Philip Roth's
prize-winning first book instantly established its author's
reputation as a writer of explosive wit, merciless insight and
humane compassion for even the most self-deluding of his
characters. 'Opening the first page of any Philip Roth is like
hearing the ignition on a boiler roar into life. Passion is what
we're going to get, and plenty of it' Guardian
