These
collected stories by Joseph Mitchell are the best way for us to try
to understand the American myth, the American dream and disillusion.
Life is a little crazy thing and Mitchell’s art is to make with
words pictures of women and men like they live with all the strength
and kindness for them.
Authors
like Paul Auster, Henry Roth and Philipp Roth have, maybe not maybe
yes, it depends, the same feeling about Big Apple but like him a huge
imagination and art to make us wonder.
Mitchell
works on short stories like an entomologist or like a surgeon, he
cuts when it’s most efficient to cut, he tells us a sensational
truth and lead us in the labyrinth near of the limits of madness or
strange very strange world. It’s a cult book! And it’s more than
interesting to read it, it’s a travel on the human consciousness
and a goal of the life with at the end of the book Joe Gould’s
secret we find truly like a Borges’ story!
