Following the wild success of his novel, Carnovsky, Nathan Zuckerman has been catapulted into the literary limelight. As he ventures out onto the streets of Manhattan he finds himself accosted on all sides, the target of admonishers, advisers, would-be literary critics, and - worst of all - fans. Zuckerman is an incompetent celebrity and unsure of how to live up to his fictional creation's notoriety. While he flounders his way through a high-profile affair, the disintegration of his family life, and fends off the attentions of his most tenacious fan yet, the turbulent sixties are drawing to a close. Beneath the uneasy glamour of these years lurk the spectres of the recently murdered Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., and an unsettled Zuckerman feels himself watched.
