Ambientada en la década de 1950 en Chicago, Nueva York y Iowa City, 'Deudas y dolores' presenta un retrato ficcional de los Estados Unidos de mediados del siglo XX, caracterizado por limitaciones sociales y éticas y por unas obligaciones morales muy distintas a las de hoy. Gabe Wallach se siente atraído por Paul Herz, estudiante graduado de literatura, y por Libby, la temperamental y vehemente esposa de Paul. El deseo que siente Gabe de vincularse al ordenado mundo de sensibilidad que encuentra en los libros se ve puesto a prueba por la anárquica lucha de los Herz por adaptarse a una vida adulta responsable y más tarde, impulsado por el deseo de vivir seriamente y de actuar con generosidad, Gabe tropieza con una prueba insuperable en la persona de Martha Reganhart. La compleja relación entre Gabe y Martha, y el entusiasmo moral de Gabe por las tribulaciones ajenas, constituyen el núcleo de esta novela trágicamente cómica.
Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against America.
