Digging through archives all over the country, Lepore unearthed evidence that \"The Oral History of Our Time\" did in fact once exist. Relying on letters, scraps, and Gould's own diaries and notebooks--including volumes of his lost manuscript--Lepore argues that Joe Gould's real secret had to do with sex and the color line, with modernists' relationship to the Harlem Renaissance, and, above all, with Gould's terrifying obsession with the African American sculptor Augusta Savage. In ways that even Gould himself could not have imagined, what Gould wrote down really is a history of our time: unsettling and ferocious.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJILL LEPORE\u003c\/b\u003e is the David Woods Kemper '41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and a staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker. \u003c\/i\u003eHer books include the \u003ci\u003eNew York\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e best seller \u003ci\u003eThe Secret History of Wonder Woman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBook of Ages, \u003c\/i\u003ea finalist for the National Book Award.
