Old age, ageing, getting older... Inevitable progress towards the limits of our own mortality. In Everyman Philip Roth explores what this feels like for a retired advertising executive, thrice married and with a string of failed relationships behind him. Sad and honest, despairing but realistic, Roth captures much of the anxieties that make us human, and the fictional resolution is the same as that of every man. Death. Powerful writing that reminds me of Martin Amis.
