0374299455 From Library Journal Both these novels follow protagonist Nathan Zuckerman through different times in his life?Ghost Writer, dubbed a "glowing work of fiction" by LJ's reviewer (LJ 9/1/79), introduced the character in his youth, while 1981's Unbound offers him in his mid-30s. Roth's many fans will be happy to see these again. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Review "It was bold of Roth to write a novel about being famous...a comic stroll in a hall of mirrors." ?Newsweek "[Roth's] narrative hand is wonderfully sure, his comic timing worthy of the Ritz Brothers.... Not since Henry MIller has anyone learned to be as funny and compassionate and brutal and plaintive in the space of a paragraph." ?Village Voice "Zuckerman Unbound is masterful, sure in every touch, as clear and economical of line as a crystal vase." ?The New York TImes Book Review -- Review --This text refers to the Paperback edition..
