Description

The New York Times-bestselling author's phenomenal debut novel about growing up in midwestern, midcentury America.

Raymond Euripides Trevitt grows up virtually alone in the small town of Athens, Illinois, until a new boy moves in next door. His name is Zachary Crowe, but he goes by Zock. They're as different as two midwestern boys can be, but their friendship will go on to shape -- if not define -- both of their lives.

In the early days, Ray takes Zock hiking and Zock teaches Ray about poetry. They run away to Chicago, hide out in movie theaters, and watch Gunga Din over and over. By high school, it's clear that Ray is no student while Zock is destined for Harvard. Still, they grow up side-by-side, through adolescence, double-dating, and first love. But during a summer visit home, a tragic accident leaves Ray racked with guilt. Alone once again, Ray discovers that in the depths of despair, resilience and hope are waiting to be found.

The Temple of Gold launched the career of bestselling novelist and Academy Award-winning screenwriter William Goldman, best known for Marathon Man and The Princess Bride.
This ebook features a biography of William Goldman.
