Product Description

Philip Roth's novel, The Anatomy Lesson, is one of the great portraits of the writer in extremis. It is a wild, raucous, daring book that cements his reputation as one of this country's premier novelists.

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. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars An exasperating conclusion to an ambitious trilogy, April 3 2002

By	Steve (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

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.

The words rain down like a cold shower; The Anatomy Lesson is this good, Roth a mandarin modern master.

4.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Roth Book, Nov 3 2000

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, sexy book, classic Roth!
Roth's alter ego, Zuckerman consoles himself with the company of women when he is coping with a career change. Very descriptive sexual situations with the women he meets. Read more

This is one of my favorite works by Roth. It has everything that you would expect to find in a great Roth book such as humor, amazing prose that just swallows you up, and... Read more
