Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,7, Universität zu Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Vom Suchen und Finden der eigenen Identität¿ ¿ so könnte ein möglicher Untertitel der Zuckerman ¿ Trilogie von Philip Roth lauten. In dem dreiteiligen Korpus, der mit dem Epilog The Prague Orgy, abschließt, begibt sich Philip Roths Alter Ego, Nathan Zuckerman, auf eine Reise nach der eigenen und insbesondere von Jedermann akzeptierten Identität. Eine Reise, die in einer Identitätskrise, einer diasporischen Situation endet und Nathan Zuckerman die Unmöglichkeit eines Ausbruchs aus einer (jüdischen) Familie vor Augen führt.Der Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt auf der Analyse und Interpretation Nathan Zuckermans Identitätskonfliktes. Er treibt ihn von der Identitätsfindung in eine Identitätskrise. Jene Krise resultiert insbesondere aus der Erkenntnis, dass ein Ausbrechen aus (jüdischen) Familientraditionen ¿ und Normen unmöglich erscheint und das Prädikat ¿Jude¿ in der Gesellschaft schwer abzustreifen ist. Neben der literarisch ¿ künstlerisch determinierten Krise als Schriftsteller, die eine Schreibblockade zur Folge hat und Zuckerman am Beruf des Schriftstellers nahezu (ver)zweifeln lässt, erscheint insbesondere diese jüdisch geprägte Identitätskrise von zentraler Signifikanz. Hier verschmelzen jüdische Diaspora und die Assimilation an die amerikanische Gesellschaft und formieren sich zu einer jüdisch- amerikanischen Identitätskrise des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Somit ist die in dieser Arbeit thematisierte Identitätskrise als Resultat der missglückten Identitätsfindung zu verstehen und einzuordnen.Philip Milton Roth ist nicht nur durch seine Zuckerman-Romane zu einem der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller der Vereinigten Staaten geworden. Gesellschaftskritische Romane wie American Pastoral erbrachten ihm 1998 die National Medal of Arts at the white house und den Pulitzerpreis. Manuel Gogos, Journalist der Neuen Züricher Zeitung, schrieb 2003 zum siebzigsten Geburtstags Roth: ¿Roth wird siebzig, und er ringt um Unsterblichkeit. Seit Jahren bringt man ihn allenthalben als möglichen Anwärter auf den Nobelpreis ins Spiel. Es ist nicht ganz zu begreifen, worauf die Akademie noch wartet.¿Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Philip Roth's standing on the literary scene is undisputed. The recipient of innumerable literary awards, the Jewish American author has reached past the precincts of his Newark's Weequahic neighborhood to become one of the most significant American novelists of the late twentieth century, an unrivalled master of the art of fiction. His literary output spanning more than 50 years and more than thirty books has been astounding both in terms of quantity and quality.Roth's place among the classics has been established by a host of critical studies presenting Roth's work from a myriad of thematic perspectives. Critical literature on Roth has become a minor industry of sorts and the interested reader may find a number of excellent general book-length treatments of his oeuvre.This book traces Zuckerman's fictional birth in My Life as a Man and The Ghost Writer, his growth through Zuckerman Unbound, The Anatomy Lesson, The Prague Orgy, The Counterlife, The Facts, his development in American Pastoral, I Married a Communist, The Human Stain and his death in Exit Ghost, to explore how Roth has been progressively creating and refining this mask and his voice as a means to come to terms with his own biography, his history, and his own self as a writer. All the defining features of Roth's poetics-masking practices, ventriloquism, meta-fictional focus, cultural significance-are visible in the creation of Zuckerman as narrator. This study keeps up the ongoing reflection in Roth's scholarly literature on the foundational relationship between facts and fictions demonstrating how Zuckerman amplifies and perfects the typically Rothian tendency to draw materials for his fictional writing from his own life and reveals Roth's ambition to create a monument out of a specific and well individualized identity: the writer steeped in American history. As Roth's most cherished mask, Nathan Zuckerman opens for the reader interested in the Jewish American author a perfect window on the crucial issue of authorship and on the range of Roth's thematic preoccupations.In proposing to view The Ghost Writer as a narrative beginning, The Counterlife as a middle and Exit Ghost as an end, the book addresses the stakes at play in reading across multiple narratives directly: how is Zuckerman's identity shaped How does narrative technique interact with biographical data How do readers make (progressive) sense of Zuckerman and how do they cope with inconsistencies What kind of coherence can be ascribed to Zuckerman in spite of the gaps his long narrative presents What if anything is specifically 'Jewish' about the creation of Zuckerman as narrator of numerous books What are the literary functions, the formal and narratological underpinnings and the psychological needs Zuckerman activates and reveals The book's groundbreaking contribution consists in a unique focus on the inner, that is to say, narratological logic of the fictional world presided over by Nathan Zuckerman and in the contextual attention to how form in its panoply of aspects triggers reader responses and activities. Masiero illuminates Roth's art of fiction through the detailed analysis of Roth's ambitious dream of creating a complete narrative microcosm.This book is important for the general reader interested in contemporary American fiction, as well as for teachers of American literature and Jewish studies, for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, and, of course for Roth scholars and literary theorists.

These books are highly collectible and are no longer available directly from the publisher. The Counterlife (1986) is a novel by the American author Philip Roth. It is the fourth full-length novel to feature the fictional novelist Nathan Zuckerman. When The Counterlife was published, Zuckerman had most recently appeared in a novella called The Prague Orgy, the epilogue to the omnibus volume Zuckerman Bound. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, The Counterlife is about people living their dreams of renewal and escape, some of them going so far as to risk their lives to alter their destinies. Wherever they find themselves, the characters of The Counterlife are tempted by the prospect of an alternative existence. Illuminating these lives in free-fall and transformation is the acrobat mind of novelist Nathan Zuckerman. His is the sceptical, enveloping intelligence that calculates the price that's paid in the struggle to change personal fortune and reshape history, whether in a dentist's office in suburban New Jersey; a tradition-bound English Village in Gloucestershire; a church in London's West End; or in a tiny desert settlement in Israel's occupied West Bank. Shot through with head-turning dualities, as daring as it is moving, The Counterlife reinvents the novel with style, wit and grace. Signed by Author(s).
