Reviews
“It’s always just when you are feeling particularly braced with things in general that this fellow Gold sneaks up behind you with a bit of lead piping. You’ll see what I mean when you read this book.”
—“Plum” Wodehouse
“I like Gold’s fiction for its austerity and I like his nonfiction because it doesn’t let fact fact get in its way.”
—Raymond Chandler
“As Dr. Gold has shown once again, the sanest and best of us are of one clay with lunatics and prison inmates.”
—William James
“This guy Gold is a real howl. What else can I say?”
—Allen Ginsberg
“Small books are so delightful. Much easier, by which I mean faster to read than large books.”
—Marcel Proust
“An excellent companion to young Gold’s The Burg and Other Seattle Scenes, and an equally excellent aid to species survival.”
—Charles Darwin
