In Philip Roth's new novel, "Exit Ghost" 71-year old novelist Nathan Zuckerman returns for a short trip to Manhattan after eleven years of voluntary exile in the Berkshires where he has deliberately kept himself out of touch with the modern world. Once in New York, he is both impulsive and linked to the past. In one week he confronts possibility and its loss as he thinks about the literary life.
