   Who was Philip Roth?

   • Philip Roth generated more outrage than any American writer since Henry Miller. The mere mention of his name triggers a multi-channel set of associations: Roth the joker, Roth the sex-fiend; Roth the celebrated, Roth the ego on legs. Neither judge nor jury, Blake Bailey’s biography presents Roth the writer in all his unvarnished glory.

   Why was Roth a great writer?

   • Roth was a workhorse, monkish in his writing and as a result impossible to live with (same with Dickens). However, it was this focus that made his work brilliant. It WAS his sexual excess that created most of his best and most loved characters such as Portnoy and Sabbath. It was his anger and ego that created Zuckerman.

   Was Philip Roth self-consciously presenting himself as 'Philip Roth'?

   • The Philip Roth that is presented in Bailey’s account isn’t quite as interesting as the “Philip Roth” that often appears in the books he wrote, whether he was self-consciously presenting himself as “Philip Roth” or not. But then again, maybe the book unintentionally does fulfill that wish, by leading us back to the writing for answers.
