Rezension zu „Philip Roth “
'Philip Roth's historical works American Pastoral, The Human Stain, and The Plot Against America stand as perhaps the most notable in his oeuvre. In this collection, Debra Shostak shows us the significance of these novels by bringing together an insightful collection of original essays. No other study on these late-period works comes close to capturing what is sure to be seen as Roth's high point as an author. Here is where readers need to begin.'--Sanford Lakoff
