      Sabbath's Theater was Philip Roth's best book. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

      Don't have time to write a defense of Sabbath's Theater now, but will point to @LauraTanenbaum's fine piece: http://goldennotebooks.blogspot.ca/2013/03/if-ny-mag-had-asked-me.html …

      "And he couldn't do it. He could not fucking die. How could he leave? How could he go? Everything he hated was here." The ending of Sabbath's Theater. RIP

          Wow. I actually haven't read that one. Must put that at the top of my list. (Also been ages since I've read "American Pastoral"; need to re-read that!)

          Sabbath's Theater is truly Roth's most perverse book. I think you'll love it.

          Ug. Sorry. But Roth was/is totally over rated in my opinion.

          Good book. I prefer "Ghost Writer," but probably because that was the book that got me, around age 14, into reading Roth (and by extension Bellow and Malamud). Powerful nostaglic attachment to Ghost Writer.
