«Elegia» is the novel by Philip Roth, published by La Magrana in paperback (144 pages).
A New York advertising man reviews his relationship with death, from childhood beaches to old age, when he observes the decline of his generation; in that memory appear his professional successes, his children, envy of his brother and three failed marriages, which leave him far from the life he imagined.
The work, whose original title is «Everyman», was translated by Núria Parés Sellarès and appeared as number 206 of the collection Les ales esteses.
For readers of Philip Roth and contemporary fiction about memory, old age and mortality.
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.
