Patrimony, a true story, touches the emotions as strongly as anything Philip Roth has ever written. Roth watches as his 86-year-old father - famous for his vigor, his charm, and his repertoire of Newark recollections - battles with the brain tumor that will kill him. The son, full of love, anxiety, and dread, accompanies his father through each fearful stage of his final ordeal, and, as he does so, discloses the survivalist tenacity that has distinguished his father's long, stubborn engagement with life.

Now in his mid-thirties, Nathan Zuckerman, a would-be recluse despite his newfound fame as a best-selling author, ventures onto the streets of Manhattan in the final year of the turbulent 60s. Not only is he assumed by his fans to be his own fictional satyr, Gilbert Carnovsky ("Hey, you do all that stuff in that book?"), he also finds himself the target of admonishers, advisors, and sidewalk literary critics. The recent murders of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. lead an unsettled Zuckerman to wonder if "target" may be more than a figure of speech.

At 40, the writer Nathan Zuckerman comes down with a mysterious affliction - pure pain, beginning in his neck and shoulders, invading his torso, and taking possession of his spirit. Zuckerman, whose work was his life, is unable to write a line. Now his work is trekking from one doctor to another, but none can find a cause for the pain or assuage it. Zuckerman himself wonders if the pain could have been caused by his own books.

The Counterlife is about people enacting their dreams of renewal and escape, some of them going so far as to risk their lives to alter seemingly irreversible destinies. Wherever they may find themselves, the characters of The Counterlife are tempted unceasingly by the prospect of an alternative existence that can reverse their fate. Illuminating these lives in transition and guiding us through the book's evocative landscapes, familiar and foreign, is the mind of the novelist Nathan Zuckerman.

David Kepesh, stimato critico letterario e docente universitario, da anni professa attivamente la sua fede nella liberazione sessuale con l'aiuto di uno stuolo di spigliate studentesse. A mettere in crisi il suo credo è Consuela Castillo, dignitosa e bellissima ragazza di origini cubane, che trascinerà il maturo professore nel pantano del desiderio e della gelosia, fino a un imprevedibile epilogo. Romanzo di cocente intensità, in cui si intrecciano pericolosamente i temi dell'eros e della morte.

Trent'anni, analista programmatore in una società di servizi informatici, il protagonista di questo romanzo conduce un'esistenza indifferente. Il lavoro, i viaggi d'affari, le prigioni dell'amore e del sesso, l'assenza di qualsiasi sentimento che non sia di insofferenza verso se stesso, lo scivolare lento e inesorabile in uno stato di insensibilità dal quale sembra non esserci via d'uscita. In una lingua affilata e gelida, che più volte costeggia i territori di tragedie innominabili, Michel Houellebecq compone un romanzo epocale, una educazione alla non-vita, alla noia, all'indifferenza.

Sintesi dell'editore
The Ghost Writer introduces Nathan Zuckerman in the 1950s, a budding writer infatuated with the great books, discovering the contradictory claims of literature and experience while an overnight guest in the secluded New England farmhouse of his idol, E. I. Lonoff.
At Lonoff's, Zuckerman meets Amy Bellette, a haunting young woman of indeterminate foreign background who turns out to be a former student of Lonoff's and who may also have been his mistress. Zuckerman, with his active, youthful imagination, wonders if she could be the paradigmatic victim of Nazi persecution. If she were, it might change his life.
The first volume in the Zuckerman Bound trilogy and epilogue, The Ghost Writer is about the tensions between literature and life, artistic truthfulness and conventional decency - and about those implacable practitioners who live with the consequences of sacrificing one for the other.

Turning Sentences Around
“I know the kind of man I am and the kind of writer. I have my own kind of bravery, and please, let’s leave it at that.”
― Philip Roth, The Ghost Writer
I've read a ton of Roth, but have yet to really engage the Zuckerman series. The Ghost Writer is book one in the four book cycle Zuckerman Bound:
1. The Ghost Writer (1979)
2. Zuckerman Unbound (1981)
3. The Anatomy Lesson (1983)
4. The Prague Orgy (1985)
It is hard to engage some of the more specific reasons WHY I loved this book -- without giving away some of the more the dramatic elements. However, within that constraint I CAN say I loved how Roth explores both what it means to be a Jewish writer (with all the expectations that come with that occupation in a post-holocaust world) and what it means to be a fiction writer period. How art reflects life and life is impacted by the work and the flow of art. There are few living writers whose output I respect more than Philip Roth, and while I don't think his 80s novels stand up entirely to later novels, he is still stretching the limits of prose and dangling ideas and situations that are both entertaining and almost absurd.

The beginning of Nathan Zuckerman
Wonderful story. Read it years ago. I have read everything by Roth, decided to listen to them a second time around. Fun to see where Nathan began, and then to watch him develop as well Roth through all these novels! Philip and Nathan will be missed, luckily we can turn on an audible when we need a fix! Enjoyed the narrator.

Better Than Reading It Myself!
I usually have not enjoyed audible books; however, this narrator made me stay in the moment and made most-likely-tedious portions rather not so much. This narration was movie-like, what with the insertion of the Zuckerman family history as well as the 'Amy' back-story. I enjoyed the voice characterizations by which each person was portrayed . I must say, I was sad for the story to end and surprised by the book's intrigue and suspenseful plot twists. It's probably because I'm not a writer that I didn't understand the title choice. This experience makes me want to download the Zuckerman trilogy from Audible!

Intro to Roth
This was my first taste of Roth, and it DEFINITELY won't be my last. I started out by really liking the book - the general, honest depictions of being a human in the U.S.A. after WWII, and more specifically, a Jew in that time and place that did not personally go through the persecution in Germany. What it means to take liberties in being yourself as well as artistically and how that can affect your family and community. Very funny in an everyday sort of way, imaginative and unpredictable. By the end I loved it rather than liked, and will 100% be reading more Roth.

So boring
I am a Philip Roth fan but I was bored with this book. Maybe the Zuckerman novels are not for me. I didn’t finish this one but there is no option to return it. When did they change that?

Disappointed
Very thin content, restating the obvious, enough material for an article, s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d into a book. No subtlety. I lasted for about a quarter of the book before deleting it.

Writers must listen
At some point in your development as a writer you worshiped an author and not only thought if I could just use words the way they did, or create stories with their passion, or develop characters that acted the way theirs did, or ...This is the story to put yourself in. Just become Nate and let your own hero worship begin.

Middling Roth, terribly read.
Typically sloppy Blackstone production. Totally inappropriate vanilla actor who doesn't get Roth at all. Bad.

No story
Random, scattered scenes and thoughts. Waste of time. Like reading someones notes on ideas for a novel.
