Joe Gould was one of Greenwich Village’s most famous personalities, celebrated for his exuberant and uncompromising Bohemianism, and for his elusive life’s work, An Oral History of Our Time — as well as for being profiled in Joseph Mitchell’s book, Joe Gould’s Secret. He’s seen here in a photo from the New York Star (July 7, 1948), at the annual fence exhibit by the Ravens Poetry Circle, where poets pinned their creations to a fence outside Judson Church, on Washington Square. And that’s the 18-year-old John A. Keel, behind him.
