Welcome!

Welcome to our blog discussion of Patrimony, Philip Roth's memoir about his dying father. What a light summer read. :) Patrimony was one of the four books recommended by Jonathan Safran Foer that we will read in Symposium along with his work. I hope you use this blog as a way to connect with each other this summer and to carry on an engaging conversation about this summer reading book. Please do not leave your summer reading until the very end of the summer, as it will mean that you will have lots of posts to read and catch up on. Please make sure that you read previous posts before posting your own, and whenever you want to respond to another person's post, simply fill in the comment box below the post to create a thread. I will be posting as well but would like you to take the initiative to bring up ideas, questions, and connections that you have as you read to get discussions going. Remember that you are talking to each other, not just to me.
