Specificatii
For the last half century, the novels of Philip Roth have
re-energized American fiction and redefined its possibilities,
leading the critic Harold Bloom to proclaim Roth our foremost
novelist since Faulkner. Roth's comic genius, his imaginative
daring, his courage in exploring uncomfortable truths, and his
assault on political, cultural, and sexual orthodoxies have made
him one of the essential writers of our time. By special
arrangement with the author, The Library of America continues the
definitive edition of Roth's collected works. This fourth volume
presents the trilogy and epilogue that constitute Zuckerman Bound
(1985), Roth's wholly original investigation into the unforeseen
consequences of art-mainly in libertarian America and then, by
contrast, in Soviet-suppressed Eastern Europe-during the latter
half of the twentieth century. The Ghost Writer (1979) 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 literary idol, E. I. Lonoff. Zuckerman Unbound
(1981) finds him far from Lonoff's domain-the scene is Manhattan as
the sensationalizing 1960s are coming to an end. Zuckerman, in his
mid-thirties, is suffering the immediate aftershock of literary
celebrity. The high-minded prot?g? of E. I. Lonoff has become a
notorious superstar. The Anatomy Lesson (1984) takes place largely
in the hospital isolation ward that Zuckerman has made of his Upper
East Side apartment. It is Watergate time, 1973, and to Zuckerman
the only other American who seems to be in as much trouble as
himself is Richard Nixon. Zuckerman, at forty, is beset with
crippling and unexplained physical pain; he wonders if the cause
might not be his own inflammatory work. In The Prague Orgy (1985),
entries from Zuckerman's notebooks describing his 1976 sojourn
among the outcast artists of Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia reveal
the major theme of Zuckerman Bound from a new perspective that
provides the stinging conclusion to this richly ironic and
intricately designed magnum opus. As an added feature, this volume
publishes for the first time Roth's unproduced television
screenplay for The Prague Orgy, featuring new characters and scenes
that do not appear in the novella.
