EP 70: Book Reviews (5) - "The Counterlife" by Philip Roth
In this episode, Tete and Fortunus talk about "The Counterlife" by Philip Roth, one of Fortunus' favorite novels that Tete also read a few years ago.
We talk about how our views of this metafictional novel have changed since we first read it back in 2016 and how it explores the following themes:
- The nature of writing as a writer
- Using writing as a way of conducting thought experiments
- Siblings whose lives branch off and contrast one another
- Characters as amalgamations of ourselves and people in real life
