His best novels:

The Counterlife
The Ghost Writer
The Prague Orgy

but those late nineties novels have extraordinary things.

Patrimony is of my favorite non-fiction books by anybody.

i had what i thought was a great idea for a novel once, until 10 seconds on google informed me it was 'the ghost writer.' :(

EVERYMAN definitely a fav, if only for so succinctly doing everything i want/love from roth

PATRIMONY something i finally started reading a week or two ago, & have been distracted from but hope to return to at some point. start was sobering.

I have those three Zuckerman novels in a single volume. I pretty much read a Roth novel each fall, so time to do those.
