Life starts to both warp as you age and become suddenly VERY clear. I have a grandmother (my last surviving grandparent) who is struggling in her 80s. It is something as I get older I'm dealing with in my own family and at work. It seemed appropriate to start reading this on Father's Day the year Roth himself died. That's about the only good thing you can say about death-it gets the sons of b!tches, too." - Herman Roth, quoted Philip Roth, Patrimony One of two memoirs/autobiographical works Roth completed. Although memoir, this reads very much like a Roth novel. But as his father's death looms, Roth regrets his impetousness, seeing the money as authentic, the last connection with his farher, and 'a chunk of his hard working hind'. This was partly motivated out of good intentions as well as the chance to take the 'moral highground'. Given his success as a writer, it made sense for the will to be split between siblings for whom it would make a difference.
To be alive to him is to be made of memory.' Roth is brutally honest about his complex relationship with his father from the difficulties of personal care to his regret at requesting to be removed from his father's will. As Roth observes, 'You mustn't forget anything, that's the inscription on his coat of life. Although this may seem trivial or gossipy at first glance it actually gives his life solidity and purpose. His father has an incredible memory and ability to make connections between people and place.
