Parsing the Prostate

New York, NY —

In the latest novel by Philip Roth, the main character grapples with the ravages of prostate cancer. The disease gives him incontinence and impotence -- and amplifies his reflections on aging. A prostate cancer group at Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck gathered to discuss the novel, called "Exit, Ghost," and compare their experiences with those of Roth and his character.
