[Misc] Philip Roth - RIP

[Goldstone1976]

Portnoy’s Complaint and American Pastoral remain two deeply impressive novels, imo. A magnificent writer, although occasionally “difficult”. RIP.

Pulitzer prize winner, so allowed to be difficult

Ironically, his former wife was called Claire Bloom!

His phrase "...bent double over my flying fist" has always remained with me for some reason.

I read American Pastoral a few years ago and had always meant to try some of his other work.

Yep only read Portnoy's Complaint and really really enjoyed it.

Never the biggest fan of his, I read The Plot Against America and Indignation. I found them to be the sort of book I would take with me on holiday
