Roth's award-winning first book instantly established its
author's reputation as a writer of explosive wit, merciless
insight, and a fierce compassion for even the most self-deluding of
his characters. 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 break and dive 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 that
range in tone from the iconoclastic to the astonishingly tender and
that illuminate the subterranean conflicts between parents and
children and friends and neighbors in the American Jewish
diaspora.
