Philip Roth hated, hated, hated Commentary magazine, especially after 1970 or so. After listening to this podcast on Roth's work, I'm totally on Roth's side: https://www.commentarymagazine.com/podcast/podcast-philip-roth-rip/ …

Read "The Anatomy Lesson." Thinly vieled skewering of 1972 piece by Irving Howe critiquing Roth's work is the most arresting part.

Another nugget is that no one knows who John Barth is. No one calls their kid 'Giles' or, affectionately, 'Goat Boy', either. Who cares.

I still can't ever see "Commentary" without thinking it should merge with "Dissent" to form "Dysentery."
