Review
"Terrific...inventive and sane and very funny" (New York Times Book Review)
"Roth is a living master" (Harold Bloom)
"Roth's prose is, as ever, elegant and intelligent, delicate even when at its most crude. It sent me back to Kafka - a brave thing to do, but he stands the comparison well" (Margaret Drabble)
"A new shock world of sensual possibility... Need one say again that Roth is an admirable novelist who never steps twice into the same river?" (Anthony Burgess)
"Hilarious, serious, visionary, logical, sexual-philosophical; the ending amazes - the joke takes three steps beyond savagery and satire and turns into a sublimeness of pity. One knows when one is reading something that will permanently enter the culture" (Cynthia Ozick)
Book Description
Philip Roth's entire oeuvre – 31 books – to be reissued in electric new Vintage jackets for October 2016
