Joseph Mitchell reconstructs the life of Joe Gould, a cultured and eccentric bohemian who lived destitute in New York and devoted years to a monumental «Oral History of Our Time» that no one ever read. After his death in 1957, his friends searched for the manuscript in Greenwich Village bars; the discovery reveals the secret of the title.
Translation by José Lima and introduction by António Lobo Antunes. The English original, Joe Gould's Secret, was published in 1965.
