Book

The Humbling (2009)

My first Philip Roth. Boy, that was depressing. It started off well. Ok kind of read.

Book

L'umiliazione (2009)

I'd rather read A Dying Animal, for the same themes and slightly less brevity. Some of the sex at an advanced age reminded me of Sabbath's Theatre, but I think this is the first time I've read Roth write about a dildo (let alone a strap-on). At least it was shorter! In fact, being so short probab...

A Humilhação (2009)

If this hadn't been written by Philip Roth, I wonder if anyone would read it. The Humbling is about an actor, told in the third person, who loses the ability to act and retreats to his dwelling in the Berkshires. The redemption comes, of course, since this is Roth, in the form of a woman, but par...

La Humillación (2009)

A self-indulgent wank-fantasy: Ageing Great Actor Simon Axler loses his art and becomes depressed; neurotic wife leaves him; he can't bring himself to commit suicide and briefly checks into a mental institution; after his release he's cheered up by lots of exotic sex with a lesbian 25 years his y...

The Plot Against America (2005)

”Preso alla rovescia, l’implacabile imprevisto era tutto quello che noi a scuola studiavamo col nome di ‘storia’, la storia inoffensiva dove tutto ciò che nel suo tempo è inaspettato, sulla pagina risulta inevitabile. Il terrore dell’imprevisto: ecco quello che la scienza della storia nasconde, t...

Book

Survival in Auschwitz (1995)

In his book Survival in Auschwitz, Primo Levi uses the phrase “the demolition of man” to refer to the process by which the Nazis attempted to, and largely succeeded in, stripping the inmates of the concentration camps of their humanity.1 This powerful phrase accurately summarizes the process of d...

The Facts (1997)

—BUS RIDING BOOKS—"The Facts, a novelist autobiography", by Philip Roth Here is my review of the book…In his autobiography, Philip Roth is looking at the wounds that plagued him for decades, yet were kept at a distance. The same troubles that led him to a grave depression after he decided to open...

Book

I Married a Communist (1999)

Although this was the second of the so-called American Trilogy that also included American Pastoral and The Human Stain, it turns outs that reading it last may have been to my benefit. There is a richness, a depth, an intoxicating and insatiable and unrelenting convolution to all of these books, ...

Book

Sabbath's Theater (1996)

Okay, now I get it. Now I get the whole Philip Roth thing—book prize judges quitting in protest over him, the sheer volume of those praising and condemning him, even what I’ve called elsewhere “absurd”—the suggestion that Roth is a self-hating Jew. (I still think this labeling applied to anyone i...

Portnoy's Complaint (1995)

It's recently been brought to my attention that my book reviews frequently are not actually about the book. And I'm wondering why would you want to know about the book when all you have to do is click on the little blurb about the book and then get on with the fascinating reading about...oh, say ...

Shop Talk: A Writer and His Colleagues and Their Work (2002)

This wasn't what I expected from the title—authors talking shop—so I ended up reading it not in full mind to appreciate what virtues it does offer. This probably cost the book a star, but I can only respond as I was on the day; in this regard, titles matter. I engrossed myself avidly in the nic...

Book

The Professor Of Desire (1995)

This has no plot. This has no plot. This has no plot. A tedious novel, if it even is a novel rather than a series of pointless but amusing anecdotes about pretty flat, Dickensian characters (Bratasky, Abe Kepesh, Baumgarten). Lots of great passages in here. but then again, as Roth so often writes...

The Professor Of Desire (1995) by Philip Roth
Book

My Life as a Man (1994)

Ooh, this one is . . . uncomfortable. Roth has teasingly drawn from his life before, and or at least seems to be in a constant game with the reader daring them to figure out how much of what he is writing is autobiographical and how much is simply an informed and exaggerated variation (a game tha...

When She Was Good (1995)

Un Philip Roth inatteso quello che ho incontrato leggendo Quando lei era buona.Infatti in questo libro da lui scritto nell’ormai lontano 1967 c’è tanto di diverso dalle altre mie letture dell’autore americano; si tratta del suo terzo libro e forse ai tempi non aveva ancora trovato il suo filone p...

The Ghost Writer (2015)

В свое интервю Рот казва: "Един истински читател на романи, е възрастен, който чете, да речем, два или три часа всяка вечер, три или четири пъти седмично. За две или три седмици той е прочел книгата си. Истинският читател не е човек, който чете от време на време, по половин час, после оставя книг...

Our Gang (2001)

It helps to know about (or remember) the administration of Richard M. Nixon to laugh out loud as I did while reading Roth's great satire, but it's not necessary. Our Gang certainly satirized Nixon (as well as Spiro Agnew, several Democrats, and a cadre of famous news reporters and commentators), ...

The Breast (1994)

И преди съм чувала, че Филип Рот не е лъжица за всяка уста. То пък кой ли автор е, въобще универсалността в литературата май е химера, ако изключим Библията, но пък нея не съм я чела.Рот е роден през 33-а на миналия век в Нюарк, Джърси. Зодия риби.

Exit Ghost (2007)
