Product Description

At forty, the writer Nathan Zuckerman comes down with a mysterious affliction—pure pain, beginning in his neck and shoulders, invading his torso, and taking possession of his spirit. Zuckerman, whose work was his life, is unable to write a line. Now his work is trekking from one doctor to another, but none can find a cause for the pain and nobody can assuage it. Zuckerman himself wonders if the pain can have been caused by his own books. And while he is wondering, his dependence on painkillers grows into an addiction to vodka, marijuana, and Percodan.

The Anatomy Lesson
is a great comedy of illness written in what the English critic Hermione Lee has described as "a manner at once...brash and thoughtful... lyrical and wry, which projects through comic expostulations and confessions...a knowing, humane authority." The third volume of the trilogy and epilogue Zuckerman Bound, The Anatomy Lesson provides some of the funniest scenes in all of Roth's fiction as well as some of the fiercest. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.


Ingram

In 1973, Nathan Zuckerman, a writer who has lost the ability to create, attempts to console himself with women as he decides to abandon writing and become a doctor. Reprint. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

3.0étoiles sur 5 An exasperating conclusion to an ambitious trilogy, Avril 3 2002
Par Steve (Massachusetts) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Anatomy Lesson (Paperback)
Closer to two-and-a-half-stars. "The Anatomy Lesson" illustrates much of what I don't care for in Roth's writing (and I *do* like much of what he writes). Nathan Zuckerman--who, in the first two novels of the trilogy, comes across as a nicely-layered character, possessing both a literary-romantic's heart and a vein of silent suffering for the pain his writing inadvertantly caused his family--is rendered starkly one-dimension in "The Anatomy Lesson"; he is, in fact, little more than Roth's stock character: sexually depraved, self-centered, fond of farce and farcical philosophizing, and obnoxiously loquacious. The ceaseless talktalktalk in this novel is irritating more than enlightening, and the various subplots and supporting characters are unconvincing and, frankly, often uninteresting. By the end of the novel, I could not wait for Zuckerman to zip his yapper; an unfortunate way to conclude what is otherwise a masterful trilogy.

4.0étoiles sur 5 My Favorite Roth Book, Nov. 3 2000
Par Un client
This review is from: The Anatomy Lesson (Paperback)
While I did not connect personally with the protagonist, per se, his self-pity, loathing, and utter helplessness make him somehow endearing and bewildering. Roth's humor is at its subtlest here -- very dry, sardonic.
