Synopsis
Zuckerman Unbound is a 1981 novel by the American author Philip Roth. Like much of Roth's fiction, this book confronts the tenuous relationship between an author and his artistic creations. It resumes the story of Roth's fictional alter ego Nathan Zuckerman that was inaugurated in Roth's previous novel The Ghost Writer.
