Wherever they find themselves, the characters of \u003ci\u003eThe Counterlife\u003c\/i\u003e are tempted by the prospect of an alternative existence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Illuminating these lives in free-fall and transformation is the acrobat mind of novelist Nathan Zuckerman. His is the sceptical, enveloping intelligence that calculates the price that's paid in the struggle to change personal fortune and reshape history, whether in a dentist's office in suburban New Jersey; a tradition-bound English Village in Gloucestershire; a church in London's West End; or in a tiny desert settlement in Israel's occupied West Bank. Shot through with head-turning dualities, as daring as it is moving, \u003ci\u003eThe Counterlife\u003c\/i\u003e reinvents the novel with style, wit and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/philip-roth-books\"\u003ePhilip Roth\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Literary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780099481355\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roth, Philip","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47982076559537,"sku":"SB-0099481359-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0099481359.jpg?v=1790460558","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-counterlife-1","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
