From BrillianceAudio.com:

Everything is over for Simon Axler, the protagonist of Philip Roth’s
startling new book. One of the leading American stage actors of his
generation, now in his sixties, he has lost his magic, his talent, and
his assurance. His Falstaff and Peer Gynt and Vanya, all his great
roles, “are melted into air, into thin air.” When he goes onstage he
feels like a lunatic and looks like an idiot. His confidence in his
powers has drained away; he imagines people laughing at him; he can no
longer pretend to be someone else. “Something fundamental has vanished.”
His wife has gone, his audience has left him, his agent can’t persuade
him to make a comeback.

Into this shattering account of inexplicable and terrifying
self-evacuation bursts a counterplot of unusual erotic desire, a
consolation for a bereft life so risky and aberrant that it points not
toward comfort and gratification but to a yet darker and more shocking
end. In this long day\'s journey into night, told with Roth\'s inimitable
urgency, bravura, and gravity, all the ways that we convince ourselves
of our solidity, all our life’s performances -- talent, love, sex, hope,
energy, reputation -- are stripped off. Following the dark meditations
on mortality and endings in Everyman and Exit Ghost, and the bitterly
ironic retrospect on youth and chance in Indignation, Roth has written
another in his haunting group of late novels.
The Humbling is Roth\'s 30th book.
