    Extractions: Introduction [HTML] or [PDF format] Has anyone ever worked harder and longer at being immature than Philip Roth? The novelist himself pointed out the paradox, saying that after establishing a reputation for maturity with two earnest novels, he "worked hard and long and diligently" to be frivolousan effort that resulted in the notoriously immature Portnoy's Complaint (1969). Three-and-a-half decades and more than twenty books later, Roth is still at his serious "pursuit of the unserious." But his art of immaturity has itself matured, developing surprising links with two traditions of immaturityan American one that includes Emerson, Melville, and Henry James, and a late twentieth-century Eastern European one that developed in reaction to totalitarianism. In Philip Roth's Rude Truth one of the first major studies of Roth's career as a wholeRoss Posnock examines Roth's "mature immaturity" in all its depth and richness.

    Extractions: @import url("http://www.who2.com/css/standard_gamma.css"); Philip Roth has been a prolific and celebrated writer of novels and short stories since Goodbye, Columbus , his debut collection of short fiction, earned him a National Book Award in 1959. The controversy over the sexual frankness of his third novel, Portnoy's Complaint (1969), made Roth a literary celebrity, a role he reluctantly embraced and used as fodder for more novels. Roth's themes involve Jewish-American identity, sex, shame and the role of the individual in contemporary society, and his novels are alternately bleak and hilarious. His alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman, appears in several of his books: 1974's My Life as a Man , 1979's The Ghost Writer and 1983's The Anatomy Lesson . His character David Kepesh is the protagonist of The Breast The Professor of Desire (1977) and The Dying Animal (2001), and Roth has also used his own name as the main character in mostly autobiographical works, including The Facts Deception (1990) and Operation Shylock (1993). Roth's many literary awards include the American Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the PEN/Faulkner Award and the

As Exit Ghost opens, Philip Roth's longtime fictional stand-in has committed himself to a sojourn in the New England wilderness, away from politics, women, and all the other distractions that keep his focus away from writing. It's gone pretty well, too. Even a pair of kittens, the gift of a neighbor worried that Zuckerman will get too lonely, can't throw him off course. Fearing he'll come to love them, he sends them back. Who needs such things? But distractions pile up quickly once Zuckerman returns to New York for a procedure to correct his humiliating inability to control his bladder. Almost as if led there by fate, he encounters the aged, cancer-stricken Amy Bellette, once the young lover of E.I. Lonoff, an early literary influence who's subsequently fallen into obscurity. Soon, Zuckerman is fending off the attentions of Richard Kliman, a young writer working on what promises to be a scandalous biography of Lonoff, and trading apartments with a young couple wanting to escape the city for a while. Some distractions can't be returned to the sender so easily.

    Extractions: Exit Ghost is the latest and, Philip Roth promises, the last of the nine novels starring his fictional alter-ego, Nathan Zuckerman. As the novel begins, Zuckerman is visiting New York City for the first time in eleven years. Other than for surgery in Boston to remove a cancerous prostate, he has hardly been off his rural mountain road in the Berkshires all these years. He is mentally recuperated and determined to lead a normal life. Now he has driven the hundred and thirty miles to Manhattan to see a urologist who specializes in treating incontinence caused by prostate surgery. Though Exit Ghost The publication of a new novel by Philip Roth (now numbering more than twenty) is always accompanied by a stir of anticipation. Though the notorious Roth voice is often manic and crude, we assume that coming from a writer who is intellectual and self-critical to the hilt, there must be some highfalutin purpose behind the roughhouse tactics, for him to know and us to divine. His exasperated cadences notwithstanding, Roth always had the knack of locating his fiction in common derangements. What made a best-seller was not really the flamboyant vocabulary or the lurid sexual images, but the complaint itself, the encroachment of the Jewish family on the outlook and imagination of its vulnerable offspring.

    Extractions: 21 November 2007 It can be difficult for novelists to write endings. But the end of a much loved series can also be difficult for readers, when characters they've come to know so well are finished off often because their creators want to move on to other pastures. Harry Potter's last appearance was made in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , and Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus took his bow in Exit Music . Now Philip Roth has written the swansong of his character Nathan Zuckerman. In fact, in Exit Ghost , 71-year-old Zuckerman is contemplating the meaning of his own existential end. Geordie Williamson has been reading Exit Ghost for the Book Show. Transcript Geordie Williamson : Forget for a moment the contents of Exit Ghost , Philip Roth's twenty-fifth work of extended prose fiction, and take a look instead at the rear flap of the book's dust-jacket. From its laudatory bumpf you will learn that Philip Roth won the Pulitzer prize in 1997. That in 1998 he won the National Medal of Arts. And that in 2002 he received the highest American honour for a writer, the Gold Medal of the American Academy of Arts and letters. Beyond this he has won the National Book Award twice, and PEN the international association of writers has given him both their Faulkner and Nabokov awards. Roth is only the third living writer to have his work published by the Library of America, an imprint dedicated to the nation's canonical authors, from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Saul Bellow.

    Extractions: Main Phillip Roth stands while he's working, and "walks half a mile for every page" . Like others, Roth has a strict regime: He works standing up, paces around while he's thinking and has said he walks half a mile for every page he writes. [...] He has always believed in the separation of life and art. He keeps his private life strictly to himself and prefers not to work where he lives. In Connecticut, his studio is back in the trees away from the house; 30 years ago, when he was spending half the year in London, he lived in Fulham and worked in a little flat in Kensington; in New York, there were two apartments on the Upper West Side, one for living in and a studio for work; when he moved more or less full-time to Connecticut, he kept the New York studio and that is where we met to talk. [...] The lectern at which Roth works is at right angles to the view, presumably to avoid distraction. The core challenge in writing is how to render life into art: "I have to have something to do that engages me totally," he says. "Without that, life is hell for me. I can't be idle and I don't know what to do other than write. [...] I don't really have other interests. My interest is in solving the problems presented by writing a book. That's what stops my brain spinning like a car wheel in the snow, obsessing about nothing.
