Summary
The final chapter in the volume confronts Philip Roth's retirement announcement in 2012, and reflects on the final years of his life, during which he spent his time reading – both his work and the work of others – and intermittently re-emerging to weigh in on issues ranging from political issues of the day to the state of his own literary legacy.
