Philip Roth is the most decorated American writer of his generation. In Exit Ghost, this master author crafts what may be the final chapter in the story of his beloved hero Nathan Zuckerman. After 11 years of isolation in his New England mountain refuge, Zuckerman returns to New York City and makes three important connections that threaten his carefully protected sense of isolation.

About the Author: Philip Roth won a Pulitzer Prize in 1997 for American Pastoral. He has also won two National Book Awards, two PEN/Faulkner Awards, and two National Book Critics Circle Awards.

His narrations of everything from classics like Crime and Punishment and The Iliad to best sellers like Snow Falling on Cedars and Lilian Jackson Brauns Cat Who ... series have set a standard for excellence recognized throughout the audiobook industry. In 1999 Guidall received the coveted Audie Award—the industry equivalent of an Oscar—for best unabridged narration of a novel for his recording of John Irvings A Widow for One Year, an honor he captured again in 2000 for his rendition of Wally Lamb’s I Know This Much Is True.

His early career featured a tour of Europe and the Near East with Helen Hayes in The Glass Menagerie, Miracle Worker, and The Skin of Our Teeth. His performances in regional theatres range from the classics of Shakespeare and Chekov to contemporary comedies. He has also appeared many times on major television shows, most recently as Judge Simmons on ABC’s daytime series One Life to Live, as well as on other popular series such as Law and Order, Spencer for Hire, and The Equalizer. His film credits include Malcom X, Tales from the Darkside, and Golden Gate.
