	Roth's Counterlife (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Zuckerman, the personification of the licence of fiction, taunts the disadvantaged autobiographer with his inability to exclude his fictional counterpart either in spirit or in person from a narrative aspiring to be factual.
		Zuckerman is only spelling out what Roth already realized as he was attempting to write his factual account of their relationship in section three.
		Zuckerman is quick to accuse his creator of trying to pass himself off as little more than an unwilling victim: "As though you still have no sense of how you were conspiring to make it all come about" (174).

		Originally published separately, the three novels now joined under the title Zuckerman Bound form a discontinuous whole which might loosely be characterized as an account of Nathan Zuckerman's progress, from budding artist in The Ghost Writer to literary eminence in The Prague Orgy, the epilogue.
		What remains of the novel of education is primarily a pattern of aesthetic growth entailing the rejection of outgrown models of artistic and social bahavior.
		One is the discussion of Lonoff's writing practice, reminiscent of Stephen's conversation with the dean ; the second is Hope Lonoff's outburst at dinner, watched in awe by Nathan, echoing Dante's tantrum during the Christmas dinner, silently witnessed by Stephen.

	Zuckerman Unbound (Vintage International) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Fame has its disadvantages; Zuckerman is besieged by letters and solicitations from fans, freaks, and creeps, especially the thug who keeps phoning him threatening to kidnap his mother for ransom.
		One important thing Zuckerman must face is the psychological effect of the notoriety of his erotic novel on his family, particularly when he and his younger brother Henry fly down to the retirement community in Florida where their parents now live to be at the bedside of their dying father.
		Zuckerman's mother worships him and thinks he can do no wrong; it is Henry who decides to slap him with guilt when they return home.

	The Jewish Quarterly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Zuckerman is a young writer (‘I was twenty-three, writing and publishing my first short stories’) visiting his literary hero, the novelist E. Lonoff, at his home in the Berkshires.
		Zuckerman’s childhood is, of course, his subject, just as Roth’s Newark childhood is his, but compared to Lonoff and Frank it doesn’t seem much of a subject.
		Zuckerman Unbound (1981) and The Anatomy Lesson are partly about the loss of that world – the deaths of Zuckerman’s parents, the disappearance of the Jewish Newarkhe grew up in.

		The same Zuckerman who had once taken such delight in mocking the conventional pieties of the Jewish family in America (see his account of taking Anne Frank home to meet his parents in The Ghost Writer [1979]) had become an archivist of the very lives he used to delight in confounding.
		Zuckerman, the famous novelist with the revolving bedroom door, had retreated into the countryside, unattached, to write his books and listen to a nation's guilty conscience in a leaky adult diaper.
		Zuckerman has given up his fascination with the bedroom to wield his artistry, with a bullhorn, on a soapbox.

		...Circumcision," writes Zuckerman in the same passage in which he is trying to convince his estranged Gentile wife to submit the child she is pregnant with to the ancient rite, gives the lie to the womb-dream of life in the beautiful state of innocent prehistory, the appealing idyll of living "naturally," unencumbered by man-made ritual...
		...unlike Zuckerman's brother, however, the cause he embraces is that of a Jewish exodus from Israel to the safety and high culture of Western civilization...
		...Zuckerman Bound indeed tells the comically nightmarish story of just such a writer, who suddenly finds himself identified by the public with a fictional figure he has created: "They had mistaken impersonation for confession and were calling out to a character who lived in a book...

		Of course, neither Roth nor Zuckerman is a universally beloved character.
		The genius of the first four Zuckerman books is their recursive nature; they illustrate in vivid detail that the child is the father of the novelist, and that analysis is always interminable.
		Father figures like Lonoff abound in "Zuckerman Unbound." Usually Nathan is out to win their approval, but sometimes he squares off with them in Oedipal battle.

	Confronting the Failures of a Professor Who Passes
		As might be expected, Roth -- or rather, his favorite narrator and longtime alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman -- has a fine time ranting against the "piety binge" he sees America indulging in at the close of the century, and he deftly satirizes the "ecstasy of sanctimony" practiced by campus commissars of political correctness.
		As told (or reimagined) by Nathan Zuckerman, it is the Gatsby-esque story of a man, who has seized the American principle of freedom and used it to shuck off the past and reinvent himself.
		Indeed, it closely parallels the story of Nathan Zuckerman, himself another dutiful, middle-class boy from New Jersey who rebelled against his family and found himself exiled, "unbound" as it were, from his roots.

		Which, until the late '90s, was a dangerous thing ("If you get out of yourself you can't be a writer because the personal ingredient is what gets you going, and if you hang on to the personal ingredient any longer you'll disappear right up your asshole," he writes in "The Anatomy Lesson").
		Roth keeps Zuckerman at the helm -- he remains the narrator -- but he's no longer the main subject.
		Instead he puts three new characters (Zuckerman's high school acquaintance, Swede Levov; his boyhood mentor, the radio actor Ira Ringold; and his neighbor, Coleman Silk) in three historical situations ('60s radicalism, '50 Communist witch hunts, '90s political correctness) where Zuckerman used to be.

		In a 1921 letter to Max Brod, Franz Kafka suggests that the inspiration of contemporary Jewish writers (in German) like himself is rooted in their inability to escape the Judaism of their fathers.
		Some sixty years later, Philip Roth's Zuckerman Bound depicts the conflict of a "first generation American father possessed by the Jewish demons" and his "second generation American son possessed by their exorcism." Medin argues that this shared wrestling with Jewish identity and discusses the effect of "paradoxes of freedom" on the work of both authors.
		He also shows how the restraining limitations of Jewish self-awareness imposed upon each writer by his family -- and by his surrounding society -- inspire the need to exorcise such "Jewish demons" (this exercise, though doomed to failure, is eventually understood by both authors as essential to their fiction).

		No, Roth wrote in 1985, near the conclusion of his brilliant trilogy, "Zuckerman Bound," that "one's story isn't a skin to be shed - it's inescapable, one's body and blood.
		Still, as Zuckerman, a master observer of the surfaces of people's lives, wisely observes, "our understanding of people must always be at best slightly wrong." Moreover, what passes for truth is even more slippery.
		And so it is that, layer by layer, Zuckerman discovers that the deeper, unspoken secrets that Coleman, Faunia, even Delphine work so hard to conceal in their outwardly convincing presentations of themselves - as distinguished Jewish professor, illiterate sensualist and successful academic careerist, respectively - make impostors of them all.
