| adam_text | Like Rip Van Winkle returning to his hometown
to find that all has changed, Nathan Zuckerman
comes back to New York, the city he left eleven
years before. Alone on his New England
mountain, Zuckerman has been nothing but a
writer: no voices, no media, no terrorist threats,
no women, no news, no tasks other than his work
and the enduring of old age.
Walking the streets like
a revenant,
he quickly
makes three connections that explode his
carefully protected solitude. One is with a young
couple with whom, in a rash moment, he offers to
swap homes. They will flee post-9/1
1
Manhattan
for his country refuge, and he will return to city
life. But from the time he meets them,
Zuckerman also wants to swap his solitude for
the erotic challenge of the young woman, Jamie,
whose allure draws him back to all that he
thought he had left behind: intimacy, the vibrant
play of heart and body.
The second connection is with a figure from
Zuckerman s youth, Amy
Bellette,
companion
and muse to Zuckerman s first literary hero, E.I.
Lonoff. The once irresistible Amy is now an old
woman depleted by illness, guarding the memory
of that grandly austere American writer who
showed Nathan the solitary path to a writing
vocation.
The third connection is with Lonoff s would-be
biographer, a young literary hound who will do
and say nearly anything to get to Lonoff s great
secret . Suddenly involved, as he never wanted
or intended to be involved again, with love,
mourning, desire, and animosity, Zuckerman
plays out an interior drama of vivid and poignant
possibilities.
Haunted by Roth s earlier works
-
the melancholy
comedy of The Ghost Writer, the counterpoint of
the imaginary and the real in The Counterlife, the
distinctive dialogues of Deception
-
Exit Ghost is a
reminder of Roth s incomparable style and themes
and an amazing leap into yet another phase in this
great writer s insatiable commitment to fiction.
In
1997
Philip Roth won the Pulitzer Prize for
American Pastoral. In
1998
he received the
National Medal of Arts at the White House
and in
2002
the highest award of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters, the Gold Medal in
Fiction, previously awarded to John
Dos
Passos,
William Faulkner and Saul Bellow, among others.
He has twice won the National Book Award, the
PEN/Faulkner Award, and the National Book
Critics Circle Award.
In
2005
The Plot Against America received the
Society of American Historians prize for the
outstanding historical novel on an American
theme for
2003-2004 .
In
2006
Roth received
PEN s most prestigious prize, the PEN/Nabokov
Award for a body of work...of enduring originality
and consummate craftsmanship .
Roth is the third living American writer to
have his work published in a comprehensive,
definitive edition by the Library of America.
The last of the eight volumes is scheduled for
publication in
2013.
