JOE GOULD'S SECRET
NY: Viking, 1965
First edition. Octavo. 181 pp. Cloth-backed boards with unclipped dustjacket. VG+/VG- slight spine fade. Joe Gould, perhaps the most renowned Greenwich Village bohemian of his time. A Harvard graduate, he left his patrician roots behind for a scrappy, hand-to-mouth existence: long disheveled hair, bushy beard, and hand-me-down clothes. Toothllessly he ate -and drank- on money cadged from both friends and strangers. Thus he was able to devote his energies to writing 'An Oral History of Our Time', which Gould said would constitute 'the informal history of the shirt-sleeved multitude.' But when Joe Gould died in 1957, the manuscript could not be found.
