«Deudas y dolores» is the psychological fiction novel by Philip Roth, published by Debolsillo in paperback (736 pages, in Spanish).
In Chicago, New York and Iowa City in the mid-1950s, Gabe Wallach, recently discharged from the Army and shaken by his mother's death, seeks his place in the literary world. Paul and Libby Herz and then Martha Reganhart test his impulse to get involved in others' lives, in a tragicomedy about maturity and responsibility.
Deudas y dolores, translated by Jordi Fibla Feito, belongs to Debolsillo's Contemporánea collection and is Philip Roth's first full-length novel.
For readers of psychological fiction and American narrative, and for those who want to discover Philip Roth's early work.
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.
