The Counterlife by Philip Roth.
Finished on September 17, 2025.
Rating: ★★★☆☆

i just finished the counterlife

Oh wow
Thoughts?
I honestly don’t remember it all that well anymore

i understand that the whole point is that the book was an interpolation of the same story in many different interpretations

but it made it a very confusing read

What was the conflict between the brothers
One of them was having an affair?

they were both involved in various differing affairs

i would say that the main conflict is about conceptions of the “good life”

the playboy vs the father, the jew and the heretic, the diaspora and the independence

I should read more of the Zuckerman books
