Simon Axler, a veteran American stage actor, sees his career collapse as he loses confidence on stage. With his personal life also in crisis, an unexpected erotic desire emerges that seems like comfort but pushes him toward a somber and uncertain outcome.
The English original, The Humbling, was published in 2009; the Spanish translation is by Jordi Fibla.
Aimed at adult readers of contemporary and psychological fiction, especially those seeking short novels about an artist's personal crisis.
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.
