Philip Roth (Paperback)

This is a groundbreaking study of the most important contemporary American novelist, Philip Roth. Reading alongside a number of his contemporaries and focusing particularly on his later fiction, this book offers a highly accessible, informative and persuasive view of Roth as an intellectually adventurous and stylistically brilliant writer who constantly reinvents himself in surprising ways. Brauner identifies as a thread running through all of Roth's work the use of paradox, both as a rhetorical device and as an organising intellectual and ideological principle. Indispensable to Roth scholars and to everyone working in the field of contemporary American fiction, this study will also be of great interest to general readers and to students and teachers of English and American literature, American Studies and Jewish Studies. Old devotees will be encouraged to return to, and new readers to discover, Roth's work.
