by HermioneLee (Author)
A study of Philip Roth as a major twentieth-century writer. Setting the novelist's work in the context of Jewish-American writing (and Jewish-American families) and twentieth-century American politics, it explores the characteristic paradoxes in Roth: self-disgust and self-consciousness, stylishness and vulgarity, surrealism and the mundane.
