3. I can't think of a single 'bad' or disappointing book by Roth

May 2018

but American Pastoral, his Pulitzer Prize winner, was very deserving of the award, upon finishing it I remember it resonated with me for a long time.

I learned recently his Human Stain made it to film, yet to see it, and I wish many other of his works would be too ... esp. Operation Shylock

RIP Philip Roth
