[ 5.0 stars ] "Though not much longer than a long 'short story', this novelette manages to connect James Joyce's Portrait of an Artist with Henry James' Middle Years, and with Anne Frank's Diaries. It is a bit if a magic trick of construction.It goes like this: In the 1970s, writer Nathan Zuckerman remembers an episode from his earlier years. 20 years ago, as a young man, a student and buddin ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "As with the rest of the Zuckerman Bound stories, The Ghost Writer is a novella among novellas, set during a very brief period of time but distilling a certain stage in the development of Zuckerman--as well as his creator--and thus capturing something of wider American culture of those same years--at least, the literary and cultural milieus Roth comes from.As always, it's Roth's very style ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "I've read enough Roth now that it's difficult for me to assess how much someone who's not familiar with him would enjoy certain books of his, this definitely being of those.The premise was interesting to me, as a Roth fan, because it was clear that both main characters were based on different versions of him. One, Nathan Zuckerman, was a young writer from Chicago whose begun to get som ..." Courtesy by Amazon
