Reviews
"A rich exploration of the epiphany that awaits us all - that 'life's most disturbing intensity is death' " Kirkus Reviews, Starred "Through it all, there's that Rothian voice: pained, angry, arrogant and deeply, wryly funny. Nothing escapes him." Publishers Weekly, Starred "Let's use a noun I've never used before: masterpiece." Atlantic Monthly "This brilliant little morality play on the ways that our bodies dictate the paths our lives take is vintage Roth" Library Journal Starred "It's another triumph" CNN "Same old terrain, same ever-astonishing mastery." Observer "Let's not crank up the suspense. He's done it again" Newsweek " Mr. Roth, our best literary stylist...does an impressive job on his chosen turf." The Wall Street Journal "...elegant, profoundly brave work of art." O, The Oprah Magazine "...an instance of Roth writing at the top of his bent and to maximum effect" The Chicago Tribune "[Everyman] is a parable that captures, as few works of fiction have, the pathos of Being." The Washington Post, This brilliant little morality play on the ways that our bodies dictate the paths our lives take is vintage Roth, Through it all, there's that Rothian voice: pained, angry, arrogant and deeply, wryly funny. Nothing escapes him.

Synopsis
Philip Roth's new novel is a candidly intimate yet universal story of loss, regret, and stoicism. The best-selling author of The Plot Against America now turns his attention from "one family's harrowing encounter with history" (New York Times) to one man's lifelong skirmish with mortality. The fate of Roth's everyman is traced from his first shocking confrontation with death on the idyllic beaches of his childhood summers, through the family trials and professional achievements of his vigorous adulthood, and into his old age, when he is rended by observing the deterioration of his contemporaries and stalked by his own physical woes. A successful commercial artist with a New York ad agency, he is the father of two sons from a first marriage who despise him and a daughter from a second marriage who adores him. He is the beloved brother of a good man whose physical well-being comes to arouse his bitter envy, and he is the lonely ex-husband of three very different women with whom he's made a mess of marriage. In the end he is a man who has become what he does not want to be. The terrain of this powerful novel -- Roth's twenty-seventh book and the fifth to be published in the twenty-first century -- is the human body. Its subject is the common experience that terrifies us all. Everyman takes its title from an anonymous fifteenth-century allegorical play, a classic of early English drama, whose theme is the summoning of the living to death., The bestselling author of "The Plot Against America" now turns his attention to one man's lifelong confrontation with mortality. From his first glimpse of death during his childhood through his vigorous, seemingly invincible prime, Roth's hero is a man bewildered not only by his own decline but by the unimaginable deaths of his contemporaries and those he has loved.
