Biographical History

Author. Full name: Philip Milton Roth. Born 1933.

From the description of Philip Roth papers, 1938-2001 (bulk 1960-1999). (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 70982313

Philip Roth is a popular and critically acclaimed American novelist. His observations on the Jewish experience in America, as depicted in such works as Goodbye, Columbus, and Portnoy's Complaint, show inventiveness and a singular sense of humor. Some observers find his works unnecessarily scatalogical and self-indulgent, others as an honest portrayal of the author's experiences and observations. One of the guiding themes in his work is a search for a personal and cultural identity.
