A fine little book.
Have just finished Zachary Leader's fascinating biography of Saul Bellow. Pleased to have got for £5 from an Amazon trader an apparently new hardback as shown, marked $40. A valued addition to the bookshelf.
First went in there on a memorable early trip to London at the age of 17. Can date it precisely, as the papers were full of "Russians Put Dog into Space" headlines - 4th October 1957. Must have been during my half-term holiday from school!
Regrettably, I am as distant from Paterson as you are - about 4,000 miles - but in the opposite direction. Perhaps an east coast board member could make the pilgrimage for us. Google Images suggests the place is just as depicted in the movie.
I read The Castle in the early 1960s. Perhaps it's time to return. I read an interesting article by Julian Barnes in the Guardian a few weeks ago on returning to books after many decades.
