Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

The Anatomy Lesson by Philip Roth (Penguin Books, 1986 edition) ISBN: 9780140074819 Condition: Good ? which in Crappy Old Books terminology means: the cover has picked up a bit of worldly gravitas, the spine shows signs of having been cracked open during intense late-night reading sessions, and the pages have that faint ?I?ve been somewhere? tint. Still entirely intact, still entirely readable, and still carrying more neuroses per square inch than your average therapist?s waiting room. Philip Roth, never knowingly under-neurotic, delivers here the third instalment of the Zuckerman saga. Poor Nathan Zuckerman ? Roth?s infamous alter ego ? has got writer?s block, back pain, and a career that feels like both a blessing and a curse. Instead of getting on with his next great novel, he?s busy spiralling: complaining, lamenting, wondering if sex, art, or sheer bloody-mindedness can rescue him. It?s funny, it?s bleak, it?s clever, and it?s very, very Roth. This isn?t a book that will soothe you. It?s a book that will prod you in the ribs, remind you of the futility of genius, and make you laugh at its sheer audacity while wondering how many different ways one man can describe the agony of being brilliant and miserable at the same time. It?s Roth doing what Roth does best: turning his own crises into literature that?s somehow both uncomfortably intimate and wildly entertaining. Our copy is Good : no annotations from over-earnest undergraduates, no missing pages, no wine stains from despairing book club evenings ? just a solid, slightly world-weary paperback that?s ready to tell its tale all over again. If you?ve ever thought that great writers must live tormented lives, Roth is here to confirm it for you with biting wit, uncomfortable candour, and sentences that occasionally make you mutter ?oh, for heaven?s sake, Nathan.? Perfect for: literary masochists, Roth completists, fans of metafictional angst, or anyone who enjoys novels where the protagonist spends more time diagnosing his backache and moral failings than advancing the plot. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE.
