Exit Ghost by Philip Roth

On the eve of George W Bush’s re-election in November 2004 New Yorkers, fearful of another attack, are leaving Manhattan in droves. Trust Philip Roth’s alter-ego, Nathan Zuckerman, to be heading the other way. Now in his 70s, the reclusive Zuckerman returns to the city to receive treatment for the prostate cancer which has left him embarrassingly impotent and incontinent.
