Making Do is a 1963 novel written by Paul Goodman and published by Macmillan.
Synopsis
Publication
The Macmillan Company first printed Making Do in November 1963. A paperback edition followed in October 1964 with New American Library's Signet imprint.[1] The book incorporated previous works by Goodman, such as his 1961 proposal for banning cars from Manhattan[2] and two short stories: "Eagle's Bridge: The Death of a Dog" (1962)[3] and "At the Lawyer's" (1963).[4]
Goodman referred to Making Do, along with Parents' Day and The Break-Up of Our Camp as his three "community novels".[5]
Analysis and legacy
Goodman's fictional works received little critical recognition, according to a bibliographer of his works.[5]
