Neil Klugman, and pretty, spirited Brenda Patimkin he of poor Newark, she of suburban Short Hills meet one summer and dive into an affair that is as much about social class and suspicion, as it is about love. Goodbye, Columbus is accompanied by five short stories that range in tone from the iconoclastic to the astonishingly tender, and illuminate the subterranean conflicts between parents and children and neighbors in the new postwar America of the forties and fifties.
