The result is an indelible portrait of an American master and of the post-war literary scene.Bailey shows how Roth emerged from a lower-middle-class Jewish milieu to achieve the heights of literary fame, how his career was nearly derailed by his catastrophic first marriage, and how he championed the work of dissident novelists behind the Iron Curtain. Bailey examines Roth's rivalrous friendships with Saul Bellow, John Updike and William Styron, and reveals the truths of his florid love life, culminating in his almost-twenty-year relationship with actress Claire Bloom, who pilloried Roth in her 1996 memoir, Leaving a Doll's House.

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Philip Roth ? The Biography (2021) by Blake Bailey ? Condition: Very Good (Crappy Old Books) Ah, Philip Roth: the novelist who spent a career alternately delighting, scandalising, and exasperating readers, critics, and probably himself. Enter Blake Bailey, who in Philip Roth ? The Biography (Jona…than Cape, 2021, ISBN: 9780224098175) takes on the herculean task of charting every rise, fall, feud, fling, and furious burst of prose across Roth?s life. This is not a slim volume?because Roth did not live a slim life. It?s bursting with anecdotes, literary battles, private struggles, and enough detail to make you feel like you?ve been seated across from Roth at a dinner party where he alternates between brilliance and monologue. Bailey delivers the full sweep: from Goodbye, Columbus to Portnoy?s Complaint and beyond, through controversies, Pulitzers, and personal complexities that make Roth one of the most argued-over American novelists of the 20th century. The book is meticulously researched and unapologetically thorough?whether you want to see the writer as genius, egotist, provocateur, or just another human trying to wrestle with mortality and libido in equal measure. As for this particular copy: it comes from Crappy Old Books , and it?s rated Very Good ?which in our world means it has lived a little (like Roth himself), but hasn?t gone off the rails. The dust jacket may show the faintest whisper of handling, the spine may have flexed once or twice like a well-exercised back, but otherwise it stands tall, clean, and ready for your bookshelf. No tragic coffee accidents, no tragic pencil underlinings, no tragic tearful dog-ears. Just a solid, attractive copy of a substantial biography. In short: here?s your chance to wrestle with Roth in nearly 900 pages of biography that is as exhaustive as it is engrossing. A ?Very Good? condition book about a writer who was rarely content to be merely good . Sold, of course, by Crappy Old Books?where even the very good things come with a wink.
