Patrimony, a true story, touches the emotions as strongly as anything Philip Roth has ever written.

The son, full of love, anxiety, and dread, accompanies his father through each fearful stage of his final ordeal, and, as he does so, discloses the survivalist tenacity that has distinguished his father's long, stubborn engagement with life.
