Goodbye, Columbus and Five Short Stories by Philip Roth
Did not finish book. Stopped at 47%.
Read for Literary tribalism.
I only read "Goodbye, Columbus" from this short story collection, and um....I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't think I like it???? Idk, the way he writes about women repulses me. The conversation between different Jewish cultures, however, is really interesting. I just cannot get behind toxic relationships being an important reading for a class? It's really not necessary.
