Title: One of the Best
Review: This is a relatively straight forward story of a man trapped in a lifestyle that he wants to leave before it is too late and before he hurts those closest to him. Goodis, however, creates a world in which there is an underlying darkness that permeates throughout with characters that are fully alive both with possibility and tragedy. The loneliness of a Philadelphia suburb, an eastern highway with flooding rain, and the crowded emptiness of an Atlantic City boardwalk stay with a reader for a long time. This is surely a 20th Century classic. It took me months to find the work at a reasonable price, but it was worth the wait and the money spent.
