A Lição de Anatomia (The Anatomy Lesson)

by Philip Roth

Overview

Aos quarenta anos, o escritor Nathan Zuckerman e acometido de um mal misterioso - uma simples dor, que comeca no pescoco e nos ombros, invade o torax e toma conta do espirito. Zuckerman, que vivia para o seu trabalho, n?o consegue escrever uma unica linha. Agora, o seu trabalho consiste em arrastar-se de medico em medico, mas nenhum descobre a causa da dor e ninguem consegue mitiga-la. Zuckerman comeca a pensar na hipotese de a dor ser causada pelos livros que escreve. E enquanto pensa, a sua dependencia dos analgesicos estende-se a vodca e a marijuana.
