This brilliant fiction, originally published in 1969, is a hilarious work about being gay, Jewish, and part of the drugged-out, psychodelic scene of the late 1960s. A spaced-out kid from Newark faces his draft board and illuminates his entire generation. William Burroughs wrote of this book upon its publication: "This is a brilliant novel which also has the virtue of being highly readalbe from beginning to end." Critic and author Seymour Krim called it "...an important book...I would say Stoping the Goyim is the most significant book of the historically unique Lower East Side." Michael Disend, a film-writer and actor, lives in San Francisco.
