New York: Simon and Schuster, 1991. A true story that touches the emotions as strongly as anything Philip Roth has ever written. The novelist, the son, full of love, anxiety, and dread, accompanies his father through each fearful stage of his final ordeal (death), and as he does so, discloses his father's long, stubborn engagement with life. Against all odds Patrimony is also a surprisingly comic story. Initials to ffep. A good read. A bright clean copy.. First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
