Goodbye Columbus
Probably the first book that changed my life, made me want to write fiction. I felt for the first time that simply transcribing conversations could be a worthwhile,even essential act. I especially recommend Jason Alexander’s reading of the story “conversion of the Jews” on the Paris review podcast

Goodbye, Columbus
Skylar Hauge
“The titular story of “Goodbye Columbus” is by far the best. It’s a peak Roth story in its reckoning; the things we are drawn to in people as means to an end within ourselves are the same things we hate them for: without the later rumination on the fear of losing freedom which becomes arduous in books like “When She Was Good”. If there are stages of life that are the best apparatuses for expressing”
