Reviews

Barbara Tepa Lupack has always been Jerzy Kosinski most insightful reader. Here, in her latest study, written in the clear and concise style that is the hallmark of all her work, Dr. Tepa Lupack convincingly argues that Kosinski's Being There, though published fifty years ago, offers a primer on American politics as we know it today. This book will remain the definitive study of both the novel and Kosinski for years to come.
