Good as Gold by Joseph Heller (UK First Edition)
A third-rate academic gets set for a glittering life in politics, but nothing goes as planned...
On paper, Bruce Gold seems to have carved a comfortable niche for himself. But in the flesh, he's not so impressive. His ancient father thinks he's a fool, his children fail to notice him and even his wife doesn't realise he's no longer living with her.
Gold's been promised a prestigious government post in Washington - only he's never been told what the position actually is.
Hugely funny and sweetly sad, Good as Gold is the story of children grown up, parents grown old, and lovers grown apart.
