Everyman (2006) is the latest novel by Philip Roth. It is a book about death and physical decay or illness but it is not really sombre or pessimistic. What I admire about this book is the fact that this meditation on death does not resort to religion or philosophy. I am also completely puzzled as to how Roth has made it worked so well. This is a great novel and I look forward to reading earlier works by this author.

I've been toying with the idea of reading this but the pessimistic aspect did put me off. Perhaps I should give it a try.

This book is worth reading. If you read it (and I strongly recommend it), I'd be interested in reading your comments.
