@StephenFrug@HeerJeet Yes, I liked I MARRIED A COMMUNIST a lot. But that's about the old left. Very diff culture than New Left.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@KathaPollitt@HeerJeet Sure. I think Roth is better on old than new left. Just pointing out he's not all bad, even politically.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@KathaPollitt@StephenFrug Yeah, I'm also very pro-Roth. Agree about Counterlife. Just think American Pastoral one of his weaker books.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@yeselson @KathaPollitt @StephenFrug Basically agree (although I think Daniel Fuchs, etc. important precursors to Bellow).
