Herbert Gold Remembered,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The man who was not with it (Hardcover)
I will always associate Herb Gold with Wayne State for his essay, "A Dog in Brooklyn, A Girl in Detroit, a Life Among the Humanities". The Man Who Was Not With It reads a lot like Saul Bellow's Herzog or Stanley Elkin's A Bad Man. A fictional biography of an ordinary Jewish urban man in midlife, his loves, his work, his failures, his small measures of success. No great triumps and no great arc to the narrative; a display, rather, of humanity just trying to get a little and get along. THIS IS HOW I REMEMBER IT, but decades have passed since I read Gold's book, and I am quite ready to be set straight if I have mischaracterized it.
