"Being There" does a few things extremely well. First of all, it shows the influence of reputation. Gardiner is a man who is ignorant of society, except for what is shown on TV. It also shows how much superficial appearances are valued in our society. Since Gardiner's only frame of reference are the depictions of society on TV, one would think he would be incompatible with the daily workings of people. But his innocence is what makes him a hero. It's funny at times because Kosinki's simple, direct prose contrasts so sharply with the exquisite atmosphere in which Gardiner resides. These factors make it worth one's time to glance over the book, especially if one is interested in politics... One could probably read this in one to two sittings...

Jerzy Kosinski did a great job writing this book. Focusing on the life of a gardener, who has to leave the environment he grew up in Kosinski narrates the remarkable career of this young man. Gardiner has the ability to impress everyone by his analysis of politics. The noticeable thing however is that Gardiner simply talks about his garden and in reality he does not understand anything about politics. The other people interpret his comments wrong and everyone thinks he is a genius, even the President. But Gardiner convinces everyone, even the Russian-American relationship improves. The most important thing I had to realize while reading this book was that tv ruins our lives. Gardiner does everything like he has seen it on tv before. Since many things are not seen on tv he has a lack of experience. While I was reading this book I kept smiling all the time. After I read the book I went outside for a walk and thought, well this is the reason why the tv is totally unnecessary. Nature is what is important. However, it is really difficult to express ones feeling about this book. If you read it you will have to think about it a long time.

Jerzy Kosinski's book can be seen as an entertainment but it also leads you to think about existing norms and vallues. He knows how to critizise the superficialness of people in a subtile way. His book leads to call the political system (of the USA) and also the society in question. This very interesting novel will be an envent for every open-minded reader!

Boring

humourous parable about personality cults
It doesn't really matter that the events in _Being There_ are completely improbable. It's still a very funny book, and it works well as a parable about innocence, stupidity, and... Lesen Sie weiter...
