Very ingenious, Carolyn, but
"The Zuckerman novels began with /The Ghost Writer/ in 1979,
and include the Pulitzer Prize-winning /American Pastoral/
(1997)."

Though I gather he first wrote about a character named Nathan
Zuckerman in /My Life as a Man/ (1974).
Unfortunately, I can't help with the answer to Dieter Zimmer's
question.
Looking this up led to a sighting, by the way:
"Like Nabokov, who sets traps in Lolita for psychoanalytically
oriented readers who try to understand the source of Humbert's
obsession, Roth both encourages and discourages public scrutiny
of his life."
Jeffrey Berman, "Revisiting Roth's psychoanalysts", in Timothy
Parrish (ed.), /The Cambridge Companion to Philip Roth/ (2007),
p. 94.
