Reading Myself and Others by Philip Roth

Reading Myself and Others by Philip Roth

The interviews, essays, and articles collected here span a quarter century of Philip Roth's distinguished career and reveal a] preoccupation with the relationship between the written and the unwritten world. Here is Roth on himself and his work and the controversies it's engendered. Here too are Roth's writings on the Eastern European writers he has always championed; and on baseball, American fiction, and American Jews. The essential collection of nonfiction by a true American master, Reading Myself and Others features his long interview with the Paris Review.
