Exit Ghost

Nathan Zuckerman returns to New York in the long-awaited final installment of Philip Roth's renowned Zuckerman series. Alone for eleven years on his New England mountain Zuckerman has been nothing but a writer: no media no terrorist threats no women no tasks other than his work and the enduring of old age. Walking the streets of New York after so many years away he quickly makes three connections that explode his carefully protected solitude. Suddenly involved as he never wanted or intended to be again with love mourning desire and animosity Zuckerman plays out an interior drama of vivid and poignant possibilities.
