What does Carnovsky represent?

Carnovsky symbolizes the turmoil of Zuckerman’s past that has continued to haunt him. “Carnovsky” is the title of Zuckerman’s latest novel, which was published about four years ago. It caused a rift between himself and his brother, Henry, who claimed that the book was the cause of the death of their father. Ultimately, Zuckerman feels as if he perhaps made a grave error in writing in publishing “Carnovsky,” which apparently catalyzed already deep-seated tensions in his personal relationships.
