'Everyman' is a profound examination of one man's journey through life, exploring themes of mortality, regret, and the complexity of human relationships. Deftly blending fiction with a touch of allegory, it follows the protagonist's confrontations with death from the innocence of childhood to the vulnerability of old age. His successful career as an ad artist stands in stark contrast to the personal failures he must face, including fractured ties with his children and a series of failed marriages. As he witnesses the decline of those around him, he grapples with envy, loss, and the stoic acceptance of his fate. Philip Roth delivers a deeply human story that lays bare the fears we all share.
