Goodbye, Columbus is the story of Neil Klugman and pretty, spirited Brenda Patimkin. Neil comes from poor Newark, while Brenda is of suburban Short Hills. On one summer break, they meet and dive into an affair that is as much about social class and suspicion as it is about love. The novella is accompanied by five short stories that range in tone from the iconoclastic to the astonishingly tender.

An almost true memory of a young man who has grown up on a small farm. The summer swelters, but the harvest is ready. A young man helps his farming father grapple with the weight of the tasks. The fields are dry and dusty, and the day-to-day struggles loom large. Yet amidst the dust and dirt, he sees Emily. She is radiant and apparently carefree while sunbathing nearby. Seeing her ignites a longing for something more than this life of hard labour. Can he break free from the chains of his reality? Will he find the courage to chase a future filled with hope?
