EP 229: Book Review: Philip Roth’s “The Counterlife”
Host Fortunus Games reviews one of her favorite books, Philip Roth's "The Counterlife." She had previously reviewed it with co-host Tete DePunk in 2021 (Episode 70 of this podcast), but she wants to give a more streamlined summary and review of the book in this episode. Listen to find out why she gave the book 4/5 stars.
“The Counterlife” is one of Philip Roth’s lesser known works. Written in 1986, it is the fourth novel to feature Roth’s fictional novelist, Nathan Zuckerman. A string of "what-ifs," this novel explores the thin line between reality and fiction and the role of fiction in writers' lives.
