This new biography of famed American novelist Philip Roth offers a
full account of his development as a writer. Philip Roth was much
more than a Jewish writer from Newark, as this new biography
reveals. His life encompassed writing some of the most original
novels in American literature, publishing censored writers from
Eastern Europe, surviving less than satisfactory marriages, and
developing friendships with a number of the most important writers
of his time from Primo Levi and Milan Kundera to Isaac Bashevis
Singer, Saul Bellow and Edna O'Brien. The winner of a Pulitzer
Prize, National Book Award, and the Man Booker International Prize,
Roth maintained a remarkable productivity throughout a career that
spanned almost fifty years, creating 31 works. But beneath the
success was illness, angst, and anxiety often masked from his
readers. This biography, drawing on archives, interviews and his
books, delves into the shaded world of Philip Roth to identify the
ghosts, the character, and even identity of the man.
