WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD – “A tough-minded, beautifully written memoir” (San Francisco Chronicle) about a son watching his elderly father battle with the brain tumor that will kill him–from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral.
Patrimony, a true story, touches the emotions as strongly as anything Philip Roth has ever written. Roth watches as his eighty-six-year-old father–famous for his vigor, charm, and his repertoire of Newark recollections–fights the brain tumor that will kill him. The son, full of love, anxiety, and dread, accompanies his father through each fearful stage of his final ordeal, and, as he does so, discloses the survivalist tenacity that has distinguished his father’s long, stubborn engagement with life.
