Book Description
What am I? The question gnaws at my insides, keeping me up at night. I was never human, not with shifter blood running through my veins. But now I know I'm more than that. I've touched magic. Some say I'm a goddess reborn, and that scares me almost as much as not knowing. I don't want to be that. I want to be me. I want to forge my own destiny, not be forced into one. But if I want to choose my path, I'll need to deal with a few problems first. Starting with the god I just robbed who isn't about to let me go. In fact, he's sent a whole swarm of demons after me. Then, there's the insane brother of the god who I'm Soulbound to. Oh, and to top it all off, my old Alpha has found a way to make himself immortal. Everyone can control their powers, except for me. And it's about time I changed that. Maybe then I can save my family and have the strength to be with the man I secretly long for. But can I unlock the secret inside of me before time runs out? Because the next Wild Moon is almost here, and when it comes, everything is going to change one last time...

Book Description
A critical evaluation of Philip Roth—the first of its kind—that takes on the man, the myth, and the work Philip Roth is one of the most renowned writers of our time. From his debut, Goodbye, Columbus, which won the National Book Award in 1960, and the explosion of Portnoy's Complaint in 1969 to his haunting reimagining of Anne Frank's story in The Ghost Writer ten years later and the series of masterworks starting in the mid-eighties—The Counterlife, Patrimony, Operation Shylock, Sabbath's Theater, American Pastoral, The HumanStain—Roth has produced some of the great American literature of the modern era. And yet there has been no major critical work about him until now. Here, at last, is the story of Roth's creative life. Roth Unbound is not a biography—though it contains a wealth of previously undisclosed biographical details and unpublished material—but something ultimately more rewarding: the exploration of a great writer through his art. Claudia Roth Pierpont, a staff writer for The New Yorker, has known Roth for nearly a decade. Her carefully researched and gracefully written account is filled with remarks from Roth himself, drawn from their ongoing conversations. Here are insights and anecdotes that will change the way many readers perceive this most controversial and galvanizing writer: a young and unhappily married Roth struggling to write; a wildly successful Roth, after the uproar over Portnoy, working to help writers from Eastern Europe and to get their books known in the West; Roth responding to the early, Jewish—and the later, feminist—attacks on his work. Here are Roth's family, his inspirations, his critics, the full range of his fiction, and his friendships with such figures as Saul Bellow and John Updike. Here is Roth at work and at play. Roth Unbound is a major achievement—a highly readable story that helps us make sense of one of the most vital literary careers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
