About This Item
New York: Farrar Straus and Giroux, 1983. Preceded by 1979's The Ghost Writer and 1981's Zuckerman Bound, The Anatomy Lesson is a continuation of the story of Roth's alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman, who finds himself having just buried his father and facing middle age. Fellow novelist Martin Amis wrote of the book: "'The Anatomy Lesson' may be the third and final installment of the Zuckerman trilogy, but it is also Roth's second consecutive novel about what success is like. Such fixity!... He has now written two autobiographical novels about the consequences of writing autobiographical novels," adding, "no modern writer, perhaps no writer, has taken self-examination so far and so literally." "The Anatomy Lesson is a ferocious, heartfelt book...lavish with laughs and flamboyant inventions" (John Updike, The New Yorker).
Synopsis
In 1997 Philip Roth won the Pulitzer Prize for American Pastoral . In 1998 he received the National Medal of Arts at the White House and in 2002 the highest award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Gold Medal in Fiction. He has twice won the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He has won the PEN/Faulkner Award three times. In 2005 The Plot Against America received the Society of American Historians’ Prize for “the outstanding historical novel on an American theme for 2003-2004.” Recently Roth received PEN’s two most prestigious awards: in 2006 the PEN/Nabokov Award and in 2007 the PEN/Bellow Award for achievement in American fiction. Roth is the only living American novelist to have his work published in a comprehensive, definitive edition by the Library of America.
