About this Item

From The New York Times Book Review, critic Morris Dickstein stated: ".Like Rousseau's "Confessions" and its modern progeny, "My Life as a Man" is reckless in inviting us to review the man rather than the writer: that's part of its appeal. To get the story out Roth is willing to look not only ignoble and self-centered, but also foolish, helpless, even a little ugly (as in Peter's final satisfaction at his wife's death). But if the personal-confessional mode highlights Roth's limitations it also returns him to the day-to-day carnival of human folly that he can describe so ringingly, so comically, even as it goes on tormenting him." THIS "Book Club" edition of his highly acclaimed seventh book, was printed in 1974, and was inscribed by the author in December 1987!
