'Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Following the recent release of Roth's vitriolic novel, I Married a Communist (also produced unabridged from Dove, with Ron Silver reading), it's refreshing to hear his most playful early material revisited. The title novel and accompanying stories are read by a list of top-notch performers. The title story, the coming-of-age tale of Newark's Neil Klugman, is read by John Rubinstein. Set in 1950s America, the idealistic college dropout Klugman spends a summer wooing Brenda Patimkin, an affluent Radcliffe girl from the nearby suburb of Short Hills. Their gentle courtship is disrupted by issues of class, religion and sex. The other stories, which include "The Conversion of the Jews" and "You Can't Tell a Man by the Song He Sings," are read by Rubinstein, Jerry Zaks, Harlan Ellison, Elliott Gould and Theodore Bikel. All do a good job of conveying Roth's sardonic humor, whichAeven in this younger workAhas a world-weary, sorrowful weightiness. But the true gift demonstrated here is Roth's amazing deadpan wit, a quality exploited to dramatic ends when read aloud by the adroit veterans employed. (Feb.)

From Library Journal
This release by the 1960 National Book Award winner will acquaint listeners with the world of American Jews in the 1950s and to Roths wit and insight into the problems accompanying assimilation. A widely respected American writer, Roth is the author of 22 books, including American Pastoral (Audio Reviews, LJ 10/1/97) and I Married a Communist (Houghton, 1998). Goodbye, Columbus features Neil Klugman, a young man from Newark living with his aunt, and Brenda Patimkin, an archetypal Jewish American Princess, whose summer romance illustrates the tension between old world values and the new suburb-based culture. Provocative and entertaining, the other stories tell of likable characters, mostly men, who embrace their Jewishness yet must face conflicts in family and community. Although written nearly 40 years ago, these stories illustrate truths about America and its relationship with Jews that remain relevant today. The readers, who include actors Theodore Bikel and Elliott Gould, are all excellent, capturing the particular characteristics of Jewish American speech. Highly recommended for all libraries.Nancy R.

From AudioFile
Roth's virtuosity is magnificently dramatized with five excellent and quite different reading voices, each matched to the text. Do you remember the size of a Patimkin sink? Then Brenda will come at you like a lover out of your own and cherished past. If not, then John Rubinstein's young voice will be a spectacular treat. Rubinstein also performs "Epstein," a story that might have been written by Irwin Shaw, if Shaw were ever that funny. Theodore Bikel gives a heavily accented rendition of "Eli, The Fanatic." This might have been by Isaac Bashevis Singer, if Singer were ever that direct. When Roth is good, he is very very good. He's the best. As is this package. B.H.C. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award Winner.

Niet uitgelezen, kon me niet zo boeien... helaas! Wie weet kan ik er een volgende vinder meer plezier mee doen!
