Sobre este artículo
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1979. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Inscribed and dated in the year of publication by Philip Roth on the front flyleaf. 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. Octavo. Original blue cloth binding, with silver titles. Light fading along the extremities of the boards; else near fine in a clean and bright dust jacket.

He has twice won the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He has won the PEN/Faulkner Award three times. In 2005 The Plot Against America received the Society of American Historians’ Prize for “the outstanding historical novel on an American theme for 2003-2004.” Recently Roth received PEN’s two most prestigious awards: in 2006 the PEN/Nabokov Award and in 2007 the PEN/Bellow Award for achievement in American fiction.
