“A sad muddled end for the great Zuckerman character. In the midst of incontinence, impotence and a failing mind, he visits NYC gets entwined in the lives of three young adults, one of whom is writing a potentially sensational biography of his late mentor E. I. Lonoff, and another, Jamie, who he lusts after, despite impotence, and imagines conversations with. Includes a nice remembrance of George Plimpton, and flashes of Rothian mastery of language, but overall it's pretty weak.”
