Making Out
By John Hollander
Making Do
by Paul Goodman
Macmillan, 288 pp., $4.95
Paul Goodman has become far better known for his prophecies than for his fiction. Some of his brilliant early stories like 'The Facts of Life' and 'The Break-up of Our Camp' have remained little-known avant-garde classics. Recently, The Empire City drew together some of his more quirky and problematic prose fiction. His new novel is more clearly an aftermath of books like Growing Up Absurd that turned Mr. Goodman into a public figure and, like them, it is by turns terribly moving and exasperating.
