Aprašymas

“[Roth’s] prose is as assured and inviting as ever…. Exit Ghost delivers pages of great, sad power.” —The Washington Post Book World

“Intricate, artful, and pressing.” —The New Yorker

The final installment of the legendary Zuckerman novels, Exit Ghost revisits characters from The Ghost Writer while mining new depths of interior drama, full of vivid and poignant possibilities.

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 connections that explode his carefully protected solitude. He finds himself suddenly involved, as he never wanted or intended to be involved again, with love, mourning, desire, and animosity.
