Critics Review
Subtle, funny and furious
Subtle, funny and furious * Observer *
An astoundingly accomplished piece of work * Guardian *
Nothing short of stunning * London Review of Books *
A very buoyant book, part truth, part fiction, combining sophistication with an equally beguiling vulgarity…it does leave one relishing it and wanting to read more * Spectator *
Philip Roth
Philip Roth was born in Newark, New Jersey on March 19, 1933. He grew up in the largely Jewish community of Weequahic, a neighborhood his writing returned to time and again.
Roth received the National Book Award for his first book, Goodbye, Columbus (1959). His fourth novel, Portnoy’s Complaint (1969), secured his reputation as one of America’s finest writers, and American Pastoral (1997) won the Pulitzer Prize.
Roth wrote thirty-one books in all, winning the International Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award twice. He was presented with the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal.
Roth died on May 22, 2018, at the age of eighty-five, six years after retiring from writing.
