โฆ Synopsis
From the dustjacket
Many readers have enjoyed Harvey Jacobs' stories in Playboy, Mademoiselle, Midstream, Esquire, and other magazines. This collection, representative of his remarkable originality and range, includes eleven stories of broad humor, irony, fantasy, and poignancy. They evoke first love, the high-pressure world of publicity, and Jewish middle-class New York.
In a zanybut always believableworld, two movie stars hole up in a seaside castle to publicize their latest epic, Beowulf... and meet a very real deep-sea monster; a young man breaks out of his emotional shell to seek fame, fortune, and love... dressed in a peanut-shell suit promoting Goobertown; a man discovers all his childhood possessions on sale in an antique shop. The title story is a wild and feather account of two rivals racing to the frozen North to secure the egg of the world's rarest bird, the fabled Glak.
