Portrait of the Artist, as an Old Man was Joseph Heller's final novel. It depicts an elderly author as he tries to write a novel that is as successful as his earlier work. The novel was published posthumously in 2000.

Storyline

The story is of Eugene Pota, a prominent writer who, in his old age, is struggling for that last piece of fiction that could be his magnum opus, or at least on par with his earlier writints. Littered throughout the novel are many of Pota's ideas and drafts of possible stories, such as the sexual biography of his wife, or of Hera's trouble with Zeus.
