Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt, and control them. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise.

I tried to read Portnoy’s Complaint, but didn’t finish it. However, I enjoyed many film adaptations of his work, such as The Human Stain, Goodbye Columbus, and Elegy.
A real American legend, undoubtedly.
Best wishes, Pete.

It’s funny, Portney’s Complaint is one of his most celebrated novels, but I didn’t really care for it either. My favorites by him are American Pastoral for which he won the Pulitzer Prize, The Ghost Writer, and The Plot Against America.

I liked quite a few of his novels Lashaan. If you ever have time I particularly recommend Ghost Writer and American Pastoral.

I believe you might have quoted him in the past and got me to add American Pastoral to my TBR in the past after I asked you what you’d recommend from him hahah

I wasn’t even aware that Philip Roth past away. My favorite memory was when I read Roth’s “The Conversion of the Jews” for the first time at my local community college during a creative writing course. I remember thinking to myself “wow, what a beautiful story” and I have been an avid fan of Roth since that moment. I am trying to read all of his stories, sad to hear of his passing but that’s life, I am sure he lived a full life.
