‘It's a masterpiece, of course, but more than that it shows that there is some such thing as being a simple observer’ Nicci French, Independent It was 1932 when Joseph Mitchell first came across Joe Gould, a Harvard-educated vagrant of Greenwich Village. Penniless, filthy, scurrilous, charming, thieving, Joe Gould was widely considered a genius. He was working on a book he called an Oral History – the longest book ever written he claimed, formed of recorded conversations set down in exercise books. Of course, when Gould died the great epic was nowhere to be found. This compelling portrait of a true New York eccentric, a man who embodied the disconnected, delusional nature of real life, was Mitchell’s personal enquiry into the agony of writer’s block. Joe Gould's Secret can be found in the longer collection of Mitchell's writing Up in the Old Hotel.

From New Yorker staff writer and Harvard historian Jill Lepore, the dark, spellbinding tale of her restless search for the long-lost, longest book ever written, a century-old manuscript called “The Oral History of Our Time.” Joe Gould, a madman, believed he was the most brilliant historian of the twentieth century. So did some of his friends, a group of modernist writers and artists that included E. E. Cummings, Marianne Moore, William Carlos Williams, John Dos Passos, and Ezra Pound. Gould began his life’s work before the First World War, announcing that he intended to write down nearly everything anyone ever said to him. “I am trying to preserve as much detail as I can about the normal life of every day people,” he explained, because “as a rule, history does not deal with such small fry.” By 1942, when The New Yorker published a profile of Gould written by the reporter Joseph Mitchell, Gould’s manuscript had grown to more than nine million words. But when Gould died in 1957, in a mental hospital, the manuscript was nowhere to be found. Then, in 1964, in “Joe Gould’s Secret,” a second profile, Mitchell claimed that “The Oral History of Our Time” had been, all along, merely a figment of Gould’s imagination. Lepore, unpersuaded, decided to find out. Joe Gould’s Teeth is a Poe-like tale of detection, madness, and invention. Digging through archives all over the country, Lepore unearthed evidence that “The Oral History of Our Time” did in fact once exist. Relying on letters, scraps, and Gould’s own diaries and notebooks—including volumes of his lost manuscript—Lepore argues that Joe Gould’s real secret had to do with sex and the color line, with modernists’ relationship to the Harlem Renaissance, and, above all, with Gould’s terrifying obsession with the African American sculptor Augusta Savage. In ways that even Gould himself could not have imagined, what Gould wrote down really is a history of our time: unsettling and ferocious.

Portrait d'un marginal qui se dit l'auteur d'une oeuvre totale, Le Secret de Joe Gould se déploie en une extraordinaire quête de vérité et prend la dimension d'une légende moderne. Joe Gould, le « dernier des bohèmes », « petit homme joyeux, au physique émacié », hante les cafétérias, les diners, les bars, les trous à rats de Greenwich Village. Il fait la manche, couche dehors, vêtu de guenilles qu'il porte « avec une espèce de désinvolture triste ». Son passé, qu'il raconte volontiers en échange d'un verre, est troublant : il aurait fait Harvard, aurait été journaliste... Surtout, il se vante d'un secret, prétend être l'auteur du plus long manuscrit jamais écrit, onze fois plus long que la Bible et en perpétuel chantier : Une histoire orale du monde ? celle des vingt mille personnes qui se sont confiées à lui. Joseph Mitchell, journaliste au New Yorker, est obsédé par l'idée de le lire et de le faire publier. C'est sa propre « quête » du manuscrit qu'il raconte. Mais ce manuscrit, qui se dérobe sans cesse, a-t-il jamais existé ? L'entreprise de Joe Gould, accumulation d'un hypothétique trésor fondé sur la vie elle-même, confine à la folie, comme l'obsession de Mitchell à la valider. Plus on s'enfonce dans Le Secret de Joe Gould, plus ce livre fascine par sa vertigineuse mise en abîme : qui est dupe de l'autre ? qui est le fou littéraire ? La profondeur des interrogations qu'il fait naître, sur les rapports entre la vérité et la fiction, la mémoire et l'oubli, l'usage de la vie, fait de ce texte en lui-même un trésor : un livre-culte, célébré par de grands écrivains (Rushdie, Martin Amis, Julian Barnes...), que l'on brûle de faire découvrir.

Saloon-keepers and street preachers, gypsies and steel-walking Mohawks, a bearded lady and a 93-year-old “seafoodetarian” who believes his specialized diet will keep him alive for another two decades. These are among the people that Joseph Mitchell immortalized in his reportage for The New Yorker and in four books—McSorley's Wonderful Saloon, Old Mr. Flood, The Bottom of the Harbor, and Joe Gould's Secret—that are still renowned for their precise, respectful observation, their graveyard humor, and their offhand perfection of style. These masterpieces (along with several previously uncollected stories) are available in one volume, which presents an indelible collective portrait of an unsuspected New York and its odder citizens—as depicted by one of the great writers of this or any other time.

História de um boémio culto, excêntrico e indigente, numa Nova Iorque desconhecida. Uma obra-prima do jornalismo literário.Salman Rushdie, Julian Barnes, Martin Amis e Doris Lessing são alguns dos escritores do mundo literário que, em 1996, quando este livro foi publicado, se fizeram ouvir chamando a atenção para a sua importância.Afinal, quem foi esse Joseph Ferdinand Gould, o cândido e inquietante protagonista deste livro? Filho de uma das famílias mais antigas de Massachusetts, licenciado em Harvard, em 1916 rompeu com todos os laços e tradições familiares e foi para Nova Iorque, onde passado pouco tempo iniciou a sua vida de vagabundo. Trabalhava e vivia inteiramente para o seu projeto de escrever uma monumental «História Oral do Nosso Tempo». Ezra Pound e E. E. Cummings, entre muitos outros, interessaram-se pelo projeto e chegaram a falar nele nas revistas em que escreviam. Entretanto, Gould dormia na rua ou em albergues noturnos para mendigos, comia mal e vestia as roupas usadas que os amigos poetas e pintores de Greenwich Village lhe davam. Era frequente vê-lo bêbado e imitando o voo das gaivotas, e a sua História Oral, que ninguém lera ainda, gozava já de uma certa reputação. Com a sua morte, em 1957, os seus amigos empreenderam uma vasta busca do famoso manuscrito nos poisos da Village que ele frequentava. É o surpreendente resultado dessa busca, o «segredo» a que se refere o título, que Joseph Mitchell nos conta na segunda crónica deste livro.
