A very nice set of the author's monumental epic, published over half a century after his acclaimed debut novel 'Call it Sleep' (1934) following sixty years of writer's block. Originally conceived as a six-part sequence, parts one and two were issued in the author's lifetime, and parts three and four issued posthumously (but with the final edited completed by Roth in the last weeks of his life). The final two volumes (known as 'Batch Two') were deemed by his editor and agent to be stylistically and thematically inconsistent with the preceding volumes, but were later edited into his final standalone novel, 'An American Type' (2010).
