Scusa NYT, ma ricordarlo citando Portnoy, quando Roth ha scritto quel gigantesco capolavoro che e’ Pastorale Americana, tra i pochi che può guardare dritto negli occhi perfino Guerra e Pace, e che esplora l’intera identita’ americana, altro che “jewish, sex” eccetera. Vabbe’.

every school kid in Newark should know Philip Roth’s story. A kid who graduated from Weequahic High School to become a worldwide literary legend. He never forgot.

If you’ve never read Roth and you just want a taste, read his short story, “Conversion of the Jews.”

Though I loved American Pastoral for its epic tale of flawed people in turbulent times, I was more viscerally affected by The Plot Against America, which, sadly, presaged many of the themes and political and social problems we face under Trump. RIP Philip Roth.

Of these three themes--lust, vanity, and Jewish identity--lust was my runaway favorite. He would have been a lesser novelist without it. Pity he had to cloak it in literary overproductivity.
