Jul 2, 2013 · Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and a finalist for the National Book Award. The Counterlife is a novel unlike any that Philip Roth has written before, a book of astonishing 180-degree turns, a book of conflicting perspectives and points of view, and, by far, Roth's most radical work of fiction.
