Portrait of an Artist As an Old Manby Heller, Joseph
DescriptionNew York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster Trade, 2000 231 pp, hard cover, lit.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Book summaryHeller's posthumous novel, completed shortly before his death in 1999, is about an elderly man whose first novel made him rich and famous. Now forced to deal with age and infirmity, he casts about for a subject for what he knows will be his last book. He ponders writing about his wife's sexual history, updating TOM SAWYER or Kafka's METAMORPHOSIS, and composing riffs on various Greek myths and Bible stories. In the end, the book is a rich, irreverent, bawdy satirical stew that sheds light on Heller's creative process and on the coming of age in his own life.
