商品簡介
Pozorski (English, Central Connecticut State U.) points out the importance of American writer Phillip Roth's fiction not only to his generation of Jewish writers and intellectuals, but also to young readers everywhere who have an interest in history and democracy. She also appeals specifically to a new set of readers prepared to dismiss Roth on reputation alone as a misogynist or perhaps too self-referential or pornographic to be appealing. Critical reception of his recent fiction has focused on his interest in America since World War II, she says, but she argues that the novels grapple more comprehensively with the country's traumatic beginnings and the legacy of the American Revolution.
