Publisher Summary 2
Scholars of English literature take another look at the American novelist and his entire body of work now that many critics and readers--if not the general public--say that he has developed an ever more compelling narrative voice since his controversial best-seller days through the 1970s and 1990s. Among the topics are female hysteria and sisterhood in Letting Go and When She Was Good, how to tell a true ghost story, double double Jewish trouble in Operation Shylock, and his nonfiction.

Publisher Summary 3
Of all contemporary American writers, Philip Roth is perhaps the most ambitious, yet he is one of the most underrepresented in terms of critical attention given his place in American letters. Unlike many aging novelists, whose production and creative mastery wane over time, Roth has demonstrated a unique ability not only to sustain his literary output, but also to surpass the scope and talent inherent in his previous writings. He has been awarded innumerable literary honors, and in the 1990s alone he won every major American book award. This long-overdue collection of essays covers Roth's entire output and links themes across works, highlighting those thoughts and ideas that recur frequently.
