Editiorial Reviews

Review by Harold Bloom (New York Times Book Review, 1985): "Obscenely outrageous and yet brilliantly reflective of a paranoid reality that has become universal. It is the best of Roth, a kind of coda to all his fiction so far."
Review (Newsweek): "One of Roth's most brilliant (and funniest) works...a lithe, comic masterpiece."
Review (Time): "This fitting capstone to Roth's Zuckerman trilogy proves that no one now writing can be funnier and more passionately serious than Philip Roth."
