Goodbye Columbus

My second book, “The RTT Killer”, is a funny tale about a serial killer.

A visitor to my writing critique group suggested reading “Goodbye Columbus” because he said it was the funniest book he has ever read. This visitor also said that the scripts for the TV show Barney Miller were no funny on the page but made humorous by the actors’ talent.

I am afraid that this visitor, who has not returned, is still living in the ’60s and ’70s. “Goodbye Columbus” is obviously a dated work. What was appealing in the 1960’s is today tripe. The story and the characters became more and more unappealing with the turn of every page.

Some people may say that you have to appreciate Jewish humor to find it pleasing. Mel Brooks said, “Think Yiddish, write British.” Sorry Mr. Roth “Goodbye Columbus” is totally unappealing dreck.
