Philip Roth...hmmm.
Zuckerman Bound A Triology and Epilogue is three novels (The Ghost Writer, Zuckerman Unbound, & The Anatomy Lesson) and a novella (Epilogue: The Prague Orgy) by Philip Roth, in one volume.
I've read the first two novels, and am almost through with the third one, and I'm still not sure to what to make of Roth's writing. Overall his writing is quite good, but his aversion to paragraphs and frequent tangents greatly bother me. I don't understand the constant & overly lengthy tirades on being Jewish (maybe if I was Jewish?).
If anyone here at TFP has some insight on Roth's writing, I'd certainly appreciate hearing your thoughts.
