Riassunto

Alone in his New England mountain, Nathan Zukerman had been nothing but a writer: no voices, no media, no terrorist threats, no women, and no news.

Now, back in New York City, walking the streets like a revenant, he quickly makes three connections that explode his carefully protected solitude. Suddenly involved, as he never wanted or intended to be involved again, with love, mourning, desire and animosity, Zukerman plays out an interior drama of vivid and poignant possibilities.

Haunted by Roth's earlier work The Ghost Writer, Exit Ghost is an amazing leap into yet another phase in this great writer's insatiable commitment to fiction.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

“[Roth's] prose is as assured and inviting as ever. . . . Exit Ghost delivers pages of great, sad power.”—The Washington Post Book World“This book is latter-day Roth at his intricately thoughtful best.”—The New York Times Book Review“Even in the face of death these characters are vivid and alive. . . . Roth is without a doubt one of the greatest living American writers, if not the greatest.”—The San Francisco Chronicle“Intricate, artful, and pressing.”—The New Yorker
