Fine Advance Reading Copy in publisher's wrappers inscribed to novelist Varley O'Connor in black marker on title page: "For Varley-- / My best-- / Philip Roth." This National Book Award-winning novel announced Roth's return to peak form: the first (and arguably best) in a string of late novels that would confirm his preeminent place in American (and world) fiction. Signed Advance Reading Copies of this title are rare, and this particular one was signed in early 1996 by Roth in the apartment near NYC's Museum of Natural History that he shared for many years with the actress Claire Bloom.

Date: 1995. Advance Reading Copy. Boston / New York, Houghton Mifflin Company, 1995. 15.5 x 23cm. 451 pages. Original softcover. Excellent condition. This is Roth in full sardonic, outrageous cry - a sort of Portnoy for a later generation, gonads miraculously intact, but with an overlay of hard-won wisdom, celebration and regret.
