Please. I hope they give Philip Roth the Nobel Prize for Literature BEFORE he dies. The man has spent his life trying to explain to us what it is to be a man, a certain kind of man, a kind of man with whom we have shared much pain and life, yet a man who has survived, despite the wimsies of fate and fortune.
If one isn’t a Roth fan, all this that I have written makes absolutely no sense. But if you are, it does. Absolutely.
