The Current Climate
Bruce Jay Friedman
(Author)
Description
Grove Press continues the reissue of Bruce Jay Friedman's critically acclaimed fiction with The Current Climate by the comedic genius whose work Nelson Algren hailed as more interesting than most of Malamud, Roth, and Bellow ...[and] more important. The Current Climate continues the hilarious misadventures of the screenwriter from Friedman's novel About Harry Towns. Harry is now twenty years older and living in New York, a frustrated playwright struggling to sell a TV series to make some quick cash-and paralyzed by the decision of whether or not he should get tickets to see Cats.

About the Author
Bruce Jay Friedman (1930-2020) was a novelist, screenwriter, and playwright. He was described as a "savage social satirist" by the New York Times. In 1965 he edited a volume of short stories which he titled Black Humor, establishing an American literary genre for himself and writers such as J. P. Donleavy, Edward Albee, Joseph Heller, Thomas Pynchon, and John Barth. He was the author of eight novels (including The Dick, Stern, and A Mother's Kisses), four collections of short stories, a number of plays--among them Scuba Duba and Steambath--and screenplays for the movies Splash and Stir Crazy.
