Beskrivelse

Philip Roth has been among the most influential and consistently controversial writers of our age. Now the author of more than twenty novels, numerous stories, two memoirs, and two books of literary criticism, Roth has used his writing to continually reinvent himself-and in doing so remake the American literary landscape. This Companion provides the most comprehensive introduction to the works of this major American author in a collection of newly commissioned essays from distinguished scholars.
