“The first really good book I have read about television.” —Norman Mailer In midcentury America, one man is determined to take over the airwaves with a program as audacious as it is entertaining. Bald, bombastic, and irresistible, Golk is his name and You’re On Camera is his show. To “golk” someone is to trick her, on camera, into betraying her true nature. The more combative the personality, the better the joke, and to help trap his victims Golk enlists a team of misfits, including Herbert Hondorp, a scholarly layabout turned photogenic decoy, and Jeanine Hendricks, a twenty-three-old debutante with a bitter worldview. But Golk has bigger plans than just catching average Manhattanites unawares. As popular as You’re On Camera has become, he knows the show is capable of making a greater, more transformative impact. The question is, will Herbert and Hendricks go along with his revolutionary agenda? Or will they bow to the power of the network and the seduction of celebrity? Combining high drama with surreal hilarity and presenting a remarkably prescient view of the future of television, Golk ranks with Nathanael West’s The Day of the Locust as one of the finest novels ever written about the American entertainment industry.

Nella sua opera d’esordio originale e tagliente, che rivaleggia con Il giorno della locusta come uno dei romanzi piu profetici che siano mai stati scritti sull’industria dell’intrattenimento americano, Richard Stern suggerisce in chiave tragicomica un probabile scenario per il futuro della televisione. «È un romanzo ricco e magnificamente cesellato, scritto da un uomo di profonda intelligenza.» Norman Mailer «Sembra Roth e invece no: è il suo maestro.» Livia Manera – La Lettura (Corriere della Sera) Nell’America della metà del Novecento, che si rilassa davanti ai teleschermi dopo aver vinto la guerra europea, un uomo venuto dal nulla crea un programma che conquista milioni di spettatori, dandogli un potere quasi sconfinato. È la prima Candid Camera della storia, e il nome del suo inventore, Golk, entra nel lessico di ogni famiglia. Golk, aggettivo, verbo, nome proprio e comune. Golk, golkare, golkismo. Ma anche «golk» come l’inverso di «god»: dio. E proprio come un dio, lui, Golk, sopra ogni cosa; deciso a colpire i potenti e a soddisfare la propria sfrenata ambizione. Completano una sconsacrata trinità i suoi due principali collaboratori: Hondorp, uno smidollato flâneur newyorkese vittima del fascino di Golk che illudendosi di prenderne il posto sarà coinvolto nella sua rovina; e Hendricks, una giovane donna assetata di esperienza che dopo i successi della crudele macchina golkiana tornerà al dorato ovile di un marito miliardario. Nella sua profetica opera d’esordio, Richard Stern propone in chiave tragicomica molti dei temi di cui si è discusso per decenni e che continuano ancor oggi ad animare libri, giornali e talk show televisivi.

For fifty years, the American Richard Stern has been praised as a "writer's writer." His collected stories in Noble Rot 1949-1989 earned him a Book of the Year Award from the Chicago Sun-Times, adding to his recognition as one of America's most acclaimed writers of fiction in novels and short stories. This study of Stern's life and writings discusses major themes Stern has dealt with, explores the issue of fictional autobiography as it relates to Stern's work, and analyzes each of his published novels and short stories from Golk (1960) to Pacific Tremors and What Is What Was (both 2001). An interview with Richard Stern is included.

In this first book-length critical assessment of Stern, James Schiffer explores the author's writing style, themes, and reception by critics, arguing in conclusion that Stern deserves "a place on the map" of important post-World War II American writers. Schiffer observes the claim that Stern is a "difficult" writer, a "writer's writer," but ultimately finds that his lucid prose, affectionate character portrayals, and well-timed comic strokes make Stern more accessible than many people imagine. Schiffer examines Stern's style and, in part on stylistic grounds, distinguishes Stern's fiction from that of his colleague and fellow Chicagoan Saul Bellow. He surveys what he calls Stern's theme of "geniuses and epigones" in the novels Golk and Stitch, as well as Stern's long fascination with Americans living and traveling in Europe, a place where some of Stern's best fictions are set.
