Roth's prose is as assured and inviting as ever.... delivers pages of great, sad power. --Washington Post Book World
Intricate, artful, and pressing. --The New Yorker Zuckerman is Roth's greatest creation...Even in the face of death these characters are vivid and alive.--San Francisco ChronicleThis book is latter-day Roth at his intricately thoughtful best.--The New York Times Book Review
Nathan Zuckerman returns to New York in the final installment of Philip Roth's renowned Zuckerman series, revisiting the characters from the celebrated The Ghost Writer.
Alone for eleven years on his New England mountain, Zuckerman has been nothing but a writer: no media, no terrorist threats, no women, no tasks other than his work and the enduring of old age. Walking the streets of New York after so many years away, he quickly makes three connections that explode his carefully protected solitude. Suddenly involved, as he never wanted or intended to be again, with love, mourning, desire, and animosity, Zuckerman plays out an interior drama of vivid and poignant possibilities.
