Patrimony: A True Story

A Memoir of Estrangement, Reconciliation, and the Power of Art

In this powerful and moving memoir, Philip Roth tells the story of his estrangement from his father, Herman, and their eventual reconciliation. Roth's father was a successful businessman who had little interest in art or literature, while Roth himself was a precocious and ambitious writer. The two men clashed frequently, and Roth eventually left home to pursue his writing career.

For many years, Roth and his father were estranged. But as Roth's father grew older and sicker, the two men began to reconnect. Roth visited his father more frequently, and they began to talk about their lives and their relationship. In the end, they were able to come to terms with their differences and find a measure of peace.
