They salute one another from afar, but Hondorp is quickly back on his way to Chicago, certain that he will never aspire to anything again.

A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Biography: Richard Stern, professor of English at the University of Chicago, is the author of many works of fiction, including Other Men's Daughters, Natural Shocks, and the recent, much-acclaimed A Father's Words. He is drawn to Elaine Hendricks, a mid-20-ish divorcee who comes from money, and whose peripatetic past included a wealthy and abusive husband. Golk is a rich and marvelously detailed novel by a man with a cultivated intelligence; it is also the first really good book I have read about television.

Golk’s ambitions are to take his show to heights of revelation, where he uncovers the seedier workings of the powerful, the movers and shakers who control people’s lives, to bring them down to size and make them seem no more than the common man, if not worse. Through a devastating series of exposures—"You’re on Camera"—Golk manipulates the high and mighty, the lowdown and dirty, and the outrageous weird; all are within the compass of Richard Stern in this early novel, a comedy with as many inspired maneuvers as its rambunctious protagonist has for taking the measure of a profligate world. The concept has its extra-novel correlate in Alan Funt’s Candid Camera, a radio, then television show, which in several incarnations, prevailed on television for forty years, now displaced by the likes of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and the plethora of youtube offerings. As popular as You’re On Camera has become, he knows the show is capable of making a greater, more transformative impact.Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. Fingering the battered cover and flipping through the yellowed pages inside, eventually the cashier saw my point and I purchased it for a mere two bucks. We have examined two or three different cars to look at the condition of the sound deadening materials underneath the carpet and were quite shocked at how much deterioration had taken place.

They break up, the show is canceled and replaced, the golks all disperse, and after Hondorp has spent six months in Chicago as a late night dj, he visits LA looking for a job and sees Golk, high atop some stage set. As popular as You're on Camera has become, he knows the show is capable of making a greater, more transformative impact. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.At the juncture Golk has snared Hondorp, the show is about to get picked up for national distribution on one of the major networks. Several months later Hondorp and Hendricks begin to receive random, intermittent postcards from Golk, which both pique curiosity and guilt. Hondorp and Hendricks cavalierly decide to marry after they have successfully scaled back the show to the network’s satisfaction. 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 23-year-old debutante with a bitter worldview. Alfred Kazin, Reporter A mighty good book, altogether alive, full of beans and none of them spilled.
