"There was a young woman named Jenny,
Whose limericks weren't worth a penny.
Her rhythm and rhyme
Were perfectly fine
But whenever she tried to write any,
She always had one line too many."

| |  | | | In Brief
"Roth's novelist/hero in The Ghost Writer {BRD 1979} and Zuckerman Unbound {BRD 1981}, Nathan Zuckerman at 40 can no longer write: he has lost his subject ('as a medium for his books he had ceased to be') and is losing his hair. Severely incapacitated by chronic pain . . . and addicted to painkillers, Zuckerman decides to become a doctor, one who deals not in words but in real 'stuff,' 'the lowest of genres--life itself.' He ends up in a hospital rather than medical school when a disastrously euphoric return to Chicago, scene of his first literary triumph, results in a drug-induced breakdown." (Libr J)
| | | | From The Publisher
At forty, the writer Nathan Zuckerman comes down with a mysterious affliction - pure pain, beginning in his neck and shoulders, invading his torso, and taking possession of his spirit. Zuckerman, whose work was his life, is unable to write a line. Now, his work is trekking from one doctor to another, but none can find a cause for the pain and nobody can assuage it. Zuckerman himself wonders if the pain can have been caused by his own books. And while he is wondering, his dependence on painkillers grows into an addiction to vodka, marijuana, and Percodan.

The final book in Roth's Zuckerman trilogy. "One finds in Zuckerman's self-doubt, guilt and quest for meaning the angst of much of 20th century humanity. The Anatomy Lesson is vintage Roth...His wildest, funniest--and darkest--novel yet"--Publishers Weekly
