|  | Joe Gould's Secret by Joseph Mitchell
Scion of an old Massachusetts family, graduate of Harvard University, Joe Gould was slated for medical school and a brilliant career as a surgeon and community leader, just as his father and grandfather had done before him. Instead, in 1916, Gould came to New York City and spend the next 40 years living in poverty in Greenwich Village, panhandling and sleeping in flophouses or doorways. He told New Yorker writer Joseph Mitchell that he lived this way so that he could walk around the city and write down the things he overheard people say to one another. Obsessed with the idea that talk is history, and that even off-the-cuff remarks could be prophetic, Gould filled hundreds of notebooks which eventually became An Oral History of Our Time . Mitchell wrote a piece about Gould for the New Yorker in 1942, and followed it up 22 years later, after Gould died, with another profile. These have been combined into Joe Gould's Secret .
