“[Roth is] as essential to the experience of modern America–its literature, history, and moral reckoning–as any writer on the planet.” —The Boston Globe
Philip Roth’s unnamed protagonist, our Everyman, discovers that “old age isn't a battle; old age is a massacre" in this candidly intimate yet universal story of loss, regret, and stoicism.
The fate of Roth's everyman is traced from his first shocking confrontation with death on the idyllic beaches of his childhood summers, through the family trials and professional achievements of his vigorous adulthood, and into his old age, when he is rended by observing the deterioration of his contemporaries and stalked by his own physical woes.
A successful commercial artist with a New York ad agency, he is the father of two sons from a first marriage who despise him and a daughter from a second marriage who adores him. He is the beloved brother of a good man whose physical well-being comes to arouse his bitter envy, and he is the lonely ex-husband of three very different women with whom he's made a mess of marriage. In the end he is a man who has become what he does not want to be.
The terrain of this powerful novel is the human body. Its subject is the common experience that terrifies us all.
