摘要:Well, Joe Gould may have lost them in Truro, Mass. during the summer of 1943 when he unexpectedly turned up to visit my parents. His bus ticket had been provided by Gould’s literary and artistic acquaintances in Greenwich Village who had probably wearied of his panhandling, his drunken binges, and his summer odor. He had only one suit, much too large, and he seldom, if ever, bathed. Still, he was tolerated, enjoyed even, for his humor and encyclopedic mind, and known for his obscure and mostly unpublished manuscript, An Oral History of the Contemporary World, in which every conversation he heard or overheard was recorded in hundreds of notebooks.
