Book summary

Roth's novelistic autobiography, which he wrote after a breakdown in 1987, zeroes in on five periods in his life that he feels sum up who he is: his childhood, his college days, a passionate and maddening youthful love affair, his alienation of the American Jewish establishment after he published GOODBYE, COLUMBUS, and the 1960s when he changed the direction of his work and wrote PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT. The book begins with a letter to Roth's fictional alter ego Nathan Zuckerman, and ends with a letter from Zuckerman to his creator.
