In "The Great American Novel" (1973), a hilarious, bizarre, strangely poignant tall tale of American pieties & American lunacy, Roth lifts the lid on the suppressed history of the homeless Ruppert Mundys of baseball's despised & vanquished 3rd major league, turning the national pastime into unfettered picaresque farce. The cast of improbable characters includes: Gil Gamesh, the pitcher who actually tried to kill the umpire; John Baal, the ex-con first baseman, "The Babe Ruth of the Big House", who never hit a home run sober; & the House Un-American Activities Committee. "My Life as a Man" (1974) is Roth's most blistering novel, the savage, sometimes lurid account of the all-out battle waged between the young writer Peter Tarnopol & the wife who is his nemesis, his demon, & his muse. This is the treacherous world of Strindberg nearly a century later: the story of a fierce marital tragedy of obsession & blindness & desperate need. The volume closes with "The Professor of Desire" (1977), which charts the 2nd sexual metamorphosis of David Kepesh, protagonist of "The Breast". Roth follows Kepesh, an adventurous man of intelligence & feeling, into a vast wilderness of erotic possibility. "The Professor of Desire" is the troublingly affecting novel about the dilemmas of desire that prompted Milan Kundera to proclaim Roth "a great historian of modern eroticism." * ABOUT THE EDITOR: ROSS MILLER is Professor of English & Comparative Literature at the University of Connecticut. His criticism has appeared in scholarly journals, The WSJ, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times. He is the author of "American Apocalypse: The Great Fire & the Myth of Chicago" & "Here's the Deal: The Buying and Selling of a Great American City". * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 450 pages. Published in 2017. Volume Ten of The Library of America's definitive Collected Works of Philip Roth. The First Slipcased Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a Slipcased Edition for distribution to libraries and LOA subscribers only. None of the copies was sold to the public. The Slipcased Edition has the same ISBN as the regular trade edition. The Slipcased Edition is now rare. Printed to the highest standards on acid-free paper, utilizing sewn binding, closely woven rayon cloth boards, satin bound-in ribbon marker, and a page layout that is both readable and elegant, each volume is guaranteed to last for several generations of readers and collectors (despite frequent and regular use, the estimated life span of Library of America Editions is 1000 years; un-used, they will last forever). Each volume is scrupulously edited and annotated by Ross Miller. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Volume Ten of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "Why Write? : Collected Nonfiction 1960-2013". A necessary - and delightful - afterthought, the tenth and final volume in the LOA Series. Why? Because it is the "definitive edition of his essential statements on literature, his controversial novels, and the writing life" (Publisher's blurb). In addition to the final versions of "Reading Myself And Others" and "Shop Talk" is "Explanations", fourteen pieces brought together for the very first time. There's more: Two full-length Interviews Roth gave after his retirement, which appear in book form in this edition only. Philip Roth was only the third writer to be so honored by The Library of America while still alive. Published in chronological order, the entire oeuvre consists of ten volumes in all and will surely be regarded as one of the "high spots" in The Library of America Series. Roth famously announced in 2012 that he has permanently stopped writing. The later pieces in this collection show that, aside from the need to clear up some nagging questions (such as his New Yorker Magazine essay attacking Wikipedia), he kept his word. Philip Roth died on May 22, 2018 of congestive heart failure, literally of heartbreak, at the age of 85. An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Roth collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Library of America Slipcased Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Six of Philip Roth's novels were selected as among the Top 20 works of American fiction of the last 25 years: "American Pastoral", "The Counterlife", "Operation Shylock", "Sabbath's Theater", "The Human Stain", and "The Plot Against America". One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PHILIP ROTH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1598535404. no.
