ISBN:  9780374280512 (hc.) 0374280517 (hc.) Edition:  First edition. Description:  353 pages ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. [333]-334) and index. Summary:  "A critical evaluation of Philip Roth that takes on the man, the myth, and the work. Not a biography -- though it contains a wealth of previously undisclosed biographical details and unpublished material -- but the exploration of a great writer through his art. Philip Roth is one of the most renowned writers of our time. From his debut, Goodbye, Columbus, which won the National Book Award in 1960, and the explosion of Portnoy’s Complaint in 1969 to his haunting reimagining of Anne Frank’s story in The Ghost Writer ten years later and the series of masterworks starting in the mid-eighties -- The Counterlife, Patrimony, Operation Shylock, Sabbath’s Theater, American Pastoral, The Human Stain -- Roth has produced some of the great American literature of the modern era. The story of Roth's creative life. He was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1933. A most controversial and galvanizing writer: a young and unhappily married Roth struggling to write; a wildly successful Roth, after the uproar over Portnoy, working to help writers from Eastern Europe and to get their books known in the West; Roth responding to the early, Jewish -- and the later, feminist -- attacks on his work. Here are Roth's family, his inspirations, his critics, the full range of his fiction, and his friendships with such figures as Saul Bellow and John Updike"--Provided by publisher.
