Goodbye Columbus, Philip Roth





I found this old book I hadn’t picked up in years, and got reacquainted with it this weekend. This collection of stories was Philip Roth's first book, and was published in 1959.

Jewish assimilation into American society is the common theme through all the stories.

“Dress British, Think Yiddish,” is always great advice; and summer reading is always best with large quantities of ice tea.
