One of the greatest living American writers, Roth returns with the final Zuckerman book. Haunted by his earlier works, the melancholy of The Ghost Writer, the counterpoint of the imaginary and the real in The Counterlife and the dialogues of Deception, this is a reminder of Roths incomparable style and themes. His previous book, Everyman, was a huge international bestseller, with over 66,000 copies sold in hardback, and was also hugely critically acclaimed.
