if you are very interested in philip roth
i was pleasantly surprised about philip roth's candidness and charm. somewhere, i had gotten the idea that he was a driven, cranky old man. he may be either, or both, but in this long and fascinating interview, he comes across as warm and serious artist with a wry sense of humor.
although i read "goodbye columbus" and "portnoy's complaint" years ago, i was moved to begin reading roth's other books when i read that he was retiring.
so far, i've read "indignation" and "the human stain", and i've started "sabbath's theater. i can see why roth has won so many major awards. i don't believe he is through with writing, as he says, and i do believe he will win the nobel prize.
