Kurzbeschreibung
For the millions of readers who have been waiting for a book to make them laugh as did Catch-22, Joseph Heller has produced a new masterpiece. Good as Gold combines the probing insight into anachronistic America of his last novel, Something Happened, with the biting, side-splitting brilliance of Catch-22.

Format:Taschenbuch
To be inside Gold's mind as he deals with his family, job and friends is very amusing and entertaining. I enjoyed every moment I spent reading this book and actually laughed outloud several times. Great for angry young men of every age.
Format:Taschenbuch
The Marquis de Sade couldn't have done a better job giving us a character to pity (at first): his family (described above by a fellow reviewer) is complete bedlam, some siding with others, some hating others, some just simply being bitter not to be mean but just because that'S the way they are. Poor, poor Gold. Or so we think at first, until he starts being glorified by the White House and his friend, Ralph, sometimes suspected of being anti-Semitic - yes, Gold is a Jew - offers him a job (unless he can't offer him a job), where he will be able to guarantee success and prosperity (unless he can't). Being promoted without even having a title, Gold climbs the government ladder, pleasing everyone with his bitter jokes that, for some reason, are appreciated because they are taken seriously. He separates from his wife (who barely seems to notice), he meets a Washington girl, Andrea, who he must marry in order to gain enough respect in the White House's eye to gain a respectable title, but Andrea wishes to marry him only when he achieves this title. Clearly, this book is for you, no?
Format:Taschenbuch
Dr. Bruce Gold, the youngest male in the family, with an older brother, four older sisters, and a younger sister, is slated for a high-placed government job. A friend of his, Ralph Newsome, has promised him an important place in the current administration. Newsome never really tells Gold what the job is and is constantly contradicting himself. He tells Gold innumerable times that the administration (the President) is very proud of his work, even though he hasn't really done any work at all. For example, he served on a committee that met only twice- long enough to have coffee. Then they dissolved the committee saying that their job was complete. Gold was supposed to write a report, which, of course, he didn't, but everyone still complemented him on it. Gold is impressed with his own ability to do well in government, but feels his wife, Belle, would not be accepted in the social circles, so he reacquaints himself with a wealthy daughter of a man who can further his ambitions. They enter into an affair and become secretly engaged with the stipulation that he leave his wife. He also enters into relationships with other women; he falls into and out of love when he has the time. Gold has committed himself to write a book about Jewish life in America. He has even received money from his publisher for the endeavor. He also has been gathering information for many years about Henry Kissinger and plans a book aobut him. In the end he decides to remain with his wife, and to write the book about Kissinger. Unbeknownst to him, this book really is really the story about Jewish life in America. This book relates all the predjudices, ups-and-downs, etc. of being Jewish. This book was funny, humerous, and the details seem too true. The descriptions of relationships within the family were especially humerous and witty.

Greatest Book of the 20th Century
While it is undisputed that Heller is our greatest writer, there are some who would rate Catch-22 as his greatest work. Those people better take a second look at this book. Lesen Sie weiter...

Amazing
I read this book 10 years ago, and it still remains vivid in my mind. I can't open a damn fortune cookie without laughing like a fool because of Heller. Lesen Sie weiter...
