Three novels from a multiple Academy Award winner and the New York Times-bestselling author of The Princess Bride. In Boys and Girls Together, author William Goldman offers a beautiful tale of early adulthood inspired by his own experiences. Five friends--all young, creative, ambitious, and troubled--make their way to New York City to pursue their dreams. Together they struggle, fight, love, make art, and face the hard truths of life.   In Marathon Man--the New York Times-bestselling thriller Goldman adapted into the classic film starring Dustin Hoffman and Sir Laurence Olivier--Columbia University student and aspiring marathon runner Thomas "Babe" Levy is trying to clear his late father's name after accusations of Communist affiliation. But soon Thomas finds himself embroiled in a Nazi conspiracy--and running for his life.   In Goldman's debut novel, The Temple of Gold, Raymond Euripides Trevitt comes of age in midwestern, mid-twentieth-century America. He is virtually alone in Athens, Illinois, until a boy named Zock moves in next door. Through adolescence, double dating, and first loves, they grow up side-by-side. But as their paths diverge, a tragic accident leaves Ray alone once again, and he must learn to find hope in the depths of despair.
