The Ghost Writer
Autor Philip Rothen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 oct 2026
Talented young writer Nathan Zuckerman makes a pilgrimage to the home of his reclusive literary hero E. I. Lonoff, and soon finds himself enmeshed in the complexity and artifice of the great Jewish writer's domestic life.
As Nathan sits in awkward conversation with his idol, he catches a glimpse of a beautiful dark-haired woman through a closing doorway. Though he soon learns her name - Amy Bellette - her identity remains tantalisingly unclear. Throughout a disturbed and confusing dinner with Lonoff, Zuckerman discovers fragments of Amy's haunting past, and begins to draw his own fantastical conclusions.

Recenzii
"Roth's most controlled and elegant work...serious, intelligent, dramatic, acutely vivid, slyly and wickedly funny...seductive far beyond its brief efficiency." —Village Voice
"I had only to read the two opening sentences to realize that I was once again in the hands of a superbly endowed storyteller." —Robert Towers, The 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
