THE GHOST WRITER - PHILIP ROTH KARTONIERT (TB)

The Ghost Writer introduces Nathan Zuckerman in the 1950s  a budding writer infatuated with the
Great Books  discovering the contradictory claims of literature and experience while an
overnight guest in the secluded New England farmhouse of his idol  E. I. Lonoff. At Lonoff's 
Zuckerman meets Amy Bellette  a haunting young woman of indeterminate foreign background who
turns out to be a former student of Lonoff's and who may also have been his mistress. Zuckerman
with his active  youthful imagination  wonders if she could be the paradigmatic victim of Nazi
persecution. If she were  it might change his life. The first volume of the trilogy and
epilogue Zuckerman Bound  The Ghost Writer is about the tensions between literature and life 
artistic truthfulness and conventional decency—and about those implacable practitioners who
live with the consequences of sacrificing one for the other.
