Being There is a satirical novel by the Polish-born writer Jerzy Kosinski, published in 1970. Set in America, the story concerns Chance, a simple gardener who unwittingly becomes a much sought-after political pundit and commentator on the vagaries of the modern world. It has been suggested that Kosinski modeled the character of Chance after a former greenhouse manager named who became the national leader of the transcendental meditation movement during the late 1960s and early 1970s, whom Kosinski had met at the local TM Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and who embodied the calm and simple manner of Chauncy Gardiner. The Cambridge TM Center was for years located at the corner of Chauncy and Garden Streets.

  • Wystarczy być (ang. Being There) – powieść Jerzego Kosińskiego z 1970 r. Książka opisuje losy upośledzonego umysłowo Chauncey’a Gardinera, który niczego nie rozumiejąc zostaje uznany za genialnego polityka, finansistę i kandydata na prezydenta USA. Powieść jest karykaturą bezmyślnego społeczeństwa, uzależnionego od mediów, a zwłaszcza telewizji. Według opinii wyrażonej w czasopiśmie „Village Voice” w 1982, książka Wystarczy być miała być plagiatem powieści Tadeusza Dołęgi-Mostowicza pt. Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy, nieznanej wówczas czytelnikom zachodnim. (pl)
