In Everyman, Philip Roth presents an unflinching portrait of an unnamed, ordinary man whose life—and inevitable death—becomes the canvas on which Roth explores mortality, regret, and what it means to be human. Beginning at the protagonist’s funeral, the narrative rewinds through his childhood, marriages, career in advertising, affairs, and numerous health crises until he finally confronts the finitude of his body and the limits of his legacy. A modern echo of the fifteenth‑century morality play from which it takes its title, the novel underscores that none of us can escape “the adversary that is illness” or the reckoning that death demands.
