Exit Ghost by Philip Roth c2007 First Edition

Description

Philip Roth’s “Exit Ghost” revisits his iconic alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman, now an aging, reclusive writer living in rural New England, who returns to New York City after a decade of self-imposed exile. The reason for his return is a planned prostate operation, but it quickly becomes entangled with his encounter with a young, attractive couple living in his old Manhattan apartment. This prompts a complex rekindling of his past, as he becomes infatuated with the woman and attempts to reclaim a sense of youthful vitality and connection.
