Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. 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-9/11 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 work The Ghost Writer, Exit Ghost is an amazing leap into yet another phase in this great writer's insatiable commitment to fiction.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Como Rip Van Winkle, que retorna à sua cidade natal e encontra tudo mudado, Nathan Zuckerman volta a Nova Iorque, a cidade que abandonou há onze anos. Sozinho na sua montanha da Nova Inglaterra, ele viveu exclusivamente como escritor, longe de vozes, jornais, televisão, ameaças terroristas e relacionamentos. Ao percorrer as ruas, rapidamente estabelece três relações que rompem sua solidão. A primeira é com um jovem casal, com quem propõe uma troca de casas: eles levarão sua Manhattan pós-11 de Setembro, enquanto ele retornará à vida urbana. Ao conhecê-los, Zuckerman se vê atraído pela jovem mulher, Jamie, que o faz reconsiderar a intimidade e o desejo. A segunda relação é com Amy Bellette, uma figura de sua juventude e musa do seu primeiro herói literário, E.I. Lonoff. Agora doente e idosa, Amy guarda a memória de Lonoff, que influenciou Zuckerman em sua vocação. A terceira relação é com um jovem biógrafo de Lonoff, disposto a fazer qualquer coisa para descobrir o "grande segredo" do autor. Envolvido em amor, dor, desejo e ressentimento, Zuckerman representa um drama interior repleto de possibilidades estimulantes e irresistíveis.…
