Non-Fiction Memoir
Patrimony, a true story, touches the emotions as
strongly as anything Philip Roth has ever written. Roth
watches as his eighty-six-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.
