Vedic Horoscope for Gould, Joe
American eccentric, also known as Professor Seagull. Often homeless, he pretended to be the author of the longest book ever written, an Oral History of the Contemporary World (or Oral History of Our Time). Gould stood about five feet four inches and weighed no more than 100 pounds, but he said that he hoped his work would make a larger impression. He inspired the book Joe Gould's Secret (1965) and its film adaptation (2000), as well as being a character in the 2009 computer game The Blackwell Convergence. Gould collapsed on the street in 1952, eventually ending up in Pilgrim State hospital on Long Island where he died on 18 August 1957, aged 68.Sy Scholfield quotes "Up in the old hotel, and other stories" by Joseph Mitchell (1993; Random House, 2012), p. 631: "My full name is Joseph Ferdinand Gould, . . . I was born at high noon on September 12, 1889, . . . in Norwood."
