1 Being There Jerzy Kosinski
Black Swan 055299037X / 9780552990370 Paperback New 
After the literal horror of The Painted Bird and the inchoate horror of Steps this is a seriocomic cryptofable a commentary on 'being there' or rather not being at all in which passivity is perhaps a kindlier fate than participation. The non-hero non-entity is Chance who has spent many years walled off from the world gardening or watching television. When forced out he permits himself to be programmed from one experience to another. He becomes the protege of people in high places; his few simple remarks are assumed to be momentous as well as prophetic re the state of the nation; a foolinnocent he only watches as he always has and thus remains unspoiled and walks away from the contamination-corruption of others to contempler son jardin in serenity. Mr. Kosinski's quizzically amused and amusing small story rebukes here affirms there and exposes just as blatantly as a commercial the styrofoam composition of our society. As an envoi who could say it any more persuasively than Mr. Kosinski's Russian writer: One could make this fable clearer still: but let us not provoke the geese.
