    Can just one person on here admit that Philip Roth is one of America's most

    talented novelists? It isn't easy for to reduce him to "one of America's most talented novelists" when I know he is the greatest, but I'm up for compromise. As a reader of serious, major literature, it drives me quite crazy to read all these posts about Jewish dragons and English wizards. I'd...

    Has anyone here ever read a Philip Roth novel?

    If you have, did you like it? My favorite Roth novel: Sabbath's Theater Captain Fantastic: That isn't one of Roth's best. I didn't like it either. You WILL NOT be able to put down Sabbath's Theater or The Human Stain. Well, if you are easily offended, you might, but those books are...

    Is it pretty much impossible to get Philip Roth or Thomas Pynchon to sign a book?

    Do you have any idea how much a signed book of theirs is worth? I mean, they are both pretty much recluses and neither of them go on book tours. Is it pretty much impossible to get them to sign a book?

    Does anyone on here realize that Philip Roth is America's last real novelist?

    If you read books like Twilight (or that kind of garbage literature), don't bother to answer my question. Anyway, do you agree that Philip Roth is basically America's only remaining novelist? Cormac = awful Pynchon = awful Dellilo = awful Morrison = pretty good, but nothing compared to Roth

    Are you tired of the Nobel people passing over Philip Roth?

    Roth was due a Nobel after American Pastoral, and definitely after The Human Stain. Outside of the Nobel, he was won every literary award imaginable--and from many different countries: Britain, Italy, America, France, etc. The guy will go down as one of the five greatest writers in American...
