Zuckerman Bound

Zuckerman Bound is a trilogy of novels by Philip Roth, originally published in 1985.

Each of the books follows the struggles and writing career of Roth's novelist alter ego Nathan Zuckerman.

In The New York Times Book Review critic Harold Bloom wrote, "'Zuckerman Bound' merits something reasonably close to the highest level of esthetic praise for tragicomedy, partly because as a formal totality it becomes much more than the sum of its parts.

Adrian Tomine selected Zuckerman Bound, writing: "By design, these linked stories have the ring of autobiographical truth, like an unsparing series of dispatches from the front lines of, well, being a wildly talented, successful and complicated writer from New Jersey at the end of the twentieth century.
