      • “One’s song isn’t a skin to be shed — it’s inescapable, one’s body and blood. You go on pumping it out till you die, the story veined with the themes of your life, the ever-recurring story that’s at once your invention and the invention of you.” (Philip Roth)

São 8 livros com 2.215 páginas duplas (segundo a Salon, de onde saiu a citação acima), que eu decidi ler em sequência – alguns pela primeira vez, outros na primeira releitura. Eu devia ter iniciado este blog antes, afinal terminei Zuckerman Unbound, o segundo na ordem cronológica, na semana passada. Mas acho que ainda vale a pena comentar a experiência de ler “the most ambitious literary series of our time”.

Pra começar, então, os títulos:

A primeira leva
The Ghost Writer (1979)
Zuckerman Unbound (1981)
The Anatomy Lesson (1983)
The Prague Orgy (1985)
(reunidos em Zuckerman Bound)

The Counterlife (1986)

A trilogia + famosa
American Pastoral (1997)
I Married a Communist (1998 )
The Human Stain (2000)

Exit Ghost (2007)
