In 'The Secret of Joe Gould,' Joseph Mitchell, a master of New York journalism, presents two chronicles written for The New Yorker about Joseph Ferdinand Gould, an enigmatic and bohemian character. Gould, son of a traditional Massachusetts family and a Harvard graduate, breaks with his past to live in New York as a beggar, with the ambitious project of writing a monumental oral history of our time. Through these portraits, Mitchell explores Gould's life and the mystery surrounding his work, offering a fascinating look at New York in the forties and fifties. This book is a literary gem that rescues the romantic ideal of the writer possessed by his work.
