Patrimony : A True Story, Paperback / softback Book

Patrimony : A True Story Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Patrimony is a true story about the relationship between a father and a son. Philip Roth watches as his eight-six-year-old father, famous for his vigour, his charm and his skill as a raconteur - lovingly called 'the Bard of Newark' - battles with the brain tumour 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 engagement with life.

Written with fierce tenderness, Patrimony is a classic work of memoir by a master storyteller.
