Joe Gould's Secret, 1996 (Modern Library Series)

Rating:
Summary: good writing about an ordinay subject
Review: This book with two different pieces about a homeless person of NY is remarkable demonstration of how to write a profile. The author achieve a literary level of writing descriving an empty life on an very ordinary disturbed person. The author did not try to get pity for him, nor depreciated him for his life style. He just descrives the life of Joe Gould on a very fair way.
