When Good Writers Go Bad

You are going to have to read Christopher Hitchens review of Philip Roth's latest Nathan Zuckerman novel Exit Ghost because I refuse to read the book. I already got suckered earlier this year into spending $20 on Roth's novella Everyman. Its premise was as self-indulgent as that fantasy where we get to see how sad everyone is at our own funeral.

Oh wait, that was the premise.

Roth should have retired after The Human Stain and kept his dignity intact.
