Publisher Description

At its heart lies the marriage of Peter and Maureen Tarnopol, a gifted young writer and the woman who wants to be his muse but who instead is his nemesis. Their union is based on fraud and shored up by moral blackmail, but it is so perversely durable that, long after Maureen’s death, Peter is still trying—and failing—to write his way free of it. Out of desperate inventions and cauterizing truths, acts of weakness, tenderheartedness, and shocking cruelty, Philip Roth creates a work worthy of Strinberg—a fierce tragedy of sexual need and blindness.

"A bitter-sweet point of view about the eternal ”problem” or that so-called ”disorder” between man&woman, which reminded me about another great book - ”The black box” (Amos Oz)! "

    " ...but not as much as other Roths. His dialog is always terrific, and his wonderful mind for seeing both sides of a violent argument is more than just a writing trick, but the story here was so miserable and relentlessly hateful that I couldn't wait for it to end. "

    " sorry to say it, but the book was too boring (to me) to warrant finishing. maybe if i was a man i would feel differently. "

    " Man, a lady sure went and made Philip Roth mad. Sometimes entertainingly mad, sometimes just incessantly and repetitively mad. "

    " i got fed up with this by the end. there's only so much angst and navel gazing i can stand. how many times can you go over the whole story and what a thoroughly nasty protagonist. i don't really mind thorought nasty protagonists but i really had had my fill with the narrator quite early on.

    " As much as I adore Philip Roth, this one was pretty thick with misogyny. I still really enjoyed the read, but it made me feel a bit dirty. "

    " A great novel that marks the first appearance of Zuckerman (albeit as a fictional character written about by the narrator.) "
