Review
"Roth's best novel yet" (London Review of Books)
"I had only to read the two opening sentences to realize that I was once again in the hands of a superbly endowed storyteller" (New York Review of Books)
"Further evidence that Roth can do practically anything with fiction. His narrative power - the ability to delight the reader simultaneously with the telling and the tale - is superb" (Washington Post)
"His prose is immaculate yet curiously plain and unostentatious, as natural as brething" (Al Alvarez)
Book Description
Reissued in electric new backlist style, The Ghost Writer is the first in Philip Roth's famous series of Zuckerman Books
