Philip Roth's Patrimony: narrative and ethics in a case study.
I assess the ethical content of Philip Roth's account of his father's final years with, and death from a tumor. I apply this to criticisms of the nature and content of case reports in medicine. I also draw some implications about modernism, postmodernism and narrative understandings.
