| |  | | | In Brief
This "is an account of how Roth cared for his eighty-six-year-old father during the last stages of the parent's incurable brain tumor." (Time)
| | | | From The Publisher
Patrimony, a true story, touches the emotions as strongly as anything Philip Roth has ever written. Roth watches as his 86-year-old father—famous for his vigor, charm, and his repertoire of Newark recollections—battles with the brain tumor that will kill him. The son, full of love, anxiety, and dread, accompanies his father through each fearful stage of his final ordeal, and, as he does so, discloses the survivalist tenacity that has distinguished his father's long, stubborn engagement with life.
"A deeply resonant portrait of a father and son.... Roth has looked past all comfort and condolence to find the truth—about himself and his father; about death and the fear of it; and about the absolute vulnerability to which love condemns us all."—Chicago Tribune

Roth's account of his father's life and death describes in detail "the agonized, sometimes comic labor of a family and a dying parent who must deal with all the loyalties of their past while coping with their transformed future"--Robert Pinsky, NY Times Book Review
