Philip Roth and World Literature: Transatlantic Perspectives and Uneasy Passages

A book like this is long overdue because not many are aware of the numerous intersections between Philip Roth's fiction and world literature. In highlighting these intersections and uneasy passages, this comparative approach offers an important contribution to Philip Roth studies as well as to comparative literary study in general. The fourteen chapters on this book summon Roth's intertextual links to authors ranging from the anonymous writer of the medieval play Everyman, through Thoreau, Hawthorne, Crane, Ellison, Coover, and the New York intellectuals in the United States, to Swift, Chekhov, Svevo, Kafka, Schulz, Gombrowicz, Camus, and Klíma in Europe, and on to Coetzee in South Africa. ...

Reading Philip Roth's American Pastoral

Dans l'ambitieux roman de Philip Roth - acclamé par la critique dès sa parution en 1997 -, les destins individuels se mêlent à la trame du destin national des Etats-Unis. Au fil de l'histoire de la famille Levov qui se déploie de 1945 aux années 1970 - celles de la guerre du Vietnam et du Watergate -, Roth interroge les utopies individuelles et collectives, et dévoile la nudité de l'être humain face à l'événement historique. Cette " pastorale américaine" s'avère en effet bien fragile : bulle prête à éclater, illusion patriotique minée par la violence et le doute... Fruit du dialogue fécond engagé au sein d'une équipe internationale de chercheurs, le présent ouvrage propose de nombreuses pistes d'analyse pour aborder une oeuvre qui figure parmi les meilleurs romans américains du XXe siècle. Il fournira de précieuses clés de compréhension aux candidats à l'agrégation d'anglais et, plus largement, aux étudiants anglicistes de tous niveaux. Au-delà, ce livre s'adresse à tous les passionnés de littérature contemporaine désireux d'appréhender la complexité de Pastorale américaine.

A Political Companion to Philip Roth

American Pastoral raconte la tragédie d'un Juif américain de la classe moyenne. Seymour Levov incarne le rêve d'assimilation de la communauté juive à Newark. A la tête de l'entreprise de ganterie de luxe de son père, marié à miss New Jersey de 1949, il semble avoir réalisé le Rêve américain.

The Facts

The Facts is a rigorously unfictionalized narrative that portrays Philip Roth unadorned--as young artist, as student, as son, as lover, as husband, as American, as Jew--and candidly examines how close the novels have been to, and how far from, autobiography. From his childhood in Newark, New Jersey, to his explosive success as a novelist, to his critics in the Jewish community who attacked his writing, and the divorce and death of his first wife, The Facts is a playful and harrowingly unconventional autobiography, bookended by letters written by his fictional alter-ego Nathan Zuckerman. "The Facts is a lively and serious version of a novelist's life." —New York Review of Books

As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself as 'a rake among scholars, a scholar among rakes' - an identity that will cling to him for a lifetime. As Philip Roth follows Kapesh from the domesticity of childhood out into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a ménage à trois in London to the depths of loneliness in New York, Kapesh confronts the central dilemma of pleasure: how to make a truce between dignity and desire; and how to survive the ordeal of an unhallowed existence.
