From Library Journal

Both these novels follow protagonist Nathan Zuckerman through different times in his life?Ghost Writer, dubbed a "glowing work of fiction" by LJ's reviewer (LJ 9/1/79), introduced the character in his youth, while 1981's Unbound offers him in his mid-30s. Roth's many fans will be happy to see these again.

Product Description

Now in his mid-thirties, Nathan Zuckerman, a would-be recluse despite his newfound fame as a bestselling author, ventures onto the streets of Manhattan in the final year of the turbulent sixties. Not only is he assumed by his fans to be his own fictional satyr, Gilbert Carnovsky ("Hey, you do all that stuff in that book?"), but he also finds himself the target of admonishers, advisers, and sidewalk literary critics. The recent murders of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., lead an unsettled Zuckerman to wonder if "target" may be more than a figure of speech.

In Zuckerman Unbound—the second volume of the trilogy and epilogue Zuckerman Bound—the notorious novelist Nathan Zuckerman retreats from his oldest friends, breaks his marriage to a virtuous woman, and damages, perhaps irreparably, his affectionate connection to his younger brother...and all because of his great good fortune! --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Like a breath of fresh air, Déc 4 2003

This review is from: Zuckerman Unbound (Paperback)
I loved this book. Unlike other Philip Roth novels, this one was very user friendly, the story was a straight forward account of Nathan Zuckerman, the alter ego of Roth. In this story Nathan has published his PORTNOY like novel, and how he deals with the success of such a novel. We are shown how his life is affected and how it affects others. Whether it be groupies, kidnappers, ex-lovers, angry fans and adoring celebrities. I thought the story was fun, light and a great joy to get through. Check it out.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Amusing and heartbreaking, Avril 3 2002
Par Steve (Massachusetts) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Zuckerman Unbound (Paperback)
Closer to three-and-a-half stars. "Zuckerman Unbound" is a solid addition to Roth's oeuvre; the story of Nathan Zuckerman's meteoric rise to fame following publication of "Carnovsky" (a novel reminiscent of "Portnoy's Complaint") is amusing, especially if one considers it at least partly based on Roth's own literary notoriety. The novel is not as uniformly great as its predecessor, "The Ghost Writer," yet it possesses a quiet charm all its own, alternately funny and heartbreaking. The novel's solemn (indeed, grim) ending illustrates the real-world impact of an author's vocation in fiction. There's much to enjoy about this book, whether or not one is a fan of Roth in general.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Bounding, Juil 7 2001
This review is from: Zuckerman Unbound (Paperback)
What's to say when I'm talking to a bunch of people who've already read the book? Can I talk anybody into reading this novel, this author? Well, we can celebrate him anyway. Roth's genius, his daimon (excuse me) is in the final shape his talk-talk-talking-mind carves. He is not a miniaturist, a poet (by title) or a songmaker - he is a garrulous detailer who knows by instinct the important bumps and curves of whatever psychic "thing" he is trying to talk to, reach. Hence, his insight is not PRIMARILY philosophical or psychological - but beautifully AESTHETIC. Aesthetic not by strong distillation, but by long breaths - width informed by depth (as opposed to, of course, depth informed by width - the poet, songmaker) His talent is his talent - his genius, (and thus his very uncomfortableness,) is in his knowing when to stop. Which gives rise to this book and its dark shape, told comically. Presumably he felt that its unsettled and unresolved shape needed the overarching redress of additional books - - but it really does not. Each book of "the trilogy" is its own separate animal, and can be enjoyed without yoking them together - - though Roth's doing so seemed to be necessary for his peace of mind. But anyway, enjoy - and go off and write your own.
