Asa retrospective summation oťhis essays anci interviews, it is essential reading in tandem with Rothes novels, both for the discussions of 1 iis own books anci as a record of his profound engagement witli other writers: Kafka, llellow, Malamud, and tlie leading figures of C olci War-era C Czechoslovakia among; tliem. Oivided into three sections, Why Vf;7/rP begins witli Roth’s sélection ofthe indispensable core of /1 m/fn/jr Afysclj nuci Ochcts^ first pu blishod in 1975 and expandul for a second édition ten years later. It ope 11s with the retnarkable hybrid storv-essay, fc։֊cï Always Wanted You to Admire Ad y Pastin^’; or, I o king at Kafka, a criti- caî évaluation that yielcis to a fïctionaï imagination of Kafka as young Rotlfs 1 lebrew -School teacher in 1940s Ncwark, the first ofthe provocative forays into spéculative alternative realities thaï wouîd take shape in novels like Y 7jc Cwhost Writci“ and l hc I/ftr s aa։i։st j tu cricri. In the essays and interviews given in the wakc of tlie explosive relcase f /Yr/Yj/rjvV C fttupfci// r, Roth clarifies how lie sought to ‘■‘’raise ohscenits* the’ level of a stibject, provides sharp- cdycd insigjns int an America wracked b y polit ica I lurmoil a ntl sexwaï révolution, and dcfctuls t)ie imaginaiivc Jreetloni ot vvriters anci readers alike. I hc volume s second section presents in its entirety tlie .2001 hook Shop *J n!k% a series of conversations with writers sticli as A hare 11 Appclfcld, 1 Vi ft to I ev i, and fulna (VHricn, as well as essays on Malamud, Hcllow, and the artist Philip Ciuston. I he collection hie.hlie.hts Roth s skill as an astute literary intcrJocutoi , engage«.! with writers whose t raditi ms, .wvumptions, anci experience՜ can differ markedly fioni # ^ the American world of his own fiction- The concluding section, “Explanations,” comprises fourteen later pieces collected Here for the first time, six of them never before published. Among the essays gathered are “Aly Uchronia,” an account of the genesis of The Plot Tujainst J^merica^ a novel grounded in the insight that “all the assurances are provisional, even here in a two-hundred-year-old democracy”; “Errata,” the unabridged version of the “Open Letter to Wikipedia” published on The Men? TorkeTs website in 2012 to counter the online encyclopedia’s egregious errors about his life and work; “Forty-Five Years On,” Roth’s absolute last word on Tortnoyz and “The Ruthless Intimacy of Fiction,” a speech delivered on the occasion of his eightieth birthday that evokes the Newark of Roth’s childhood and examines the “refractory way of living” of Sabbath’s Theater s Alickey Sabbath. Also included are two lengthy interviews given after Roth’s retirement, which take stock of a lifetime of work: “Morning after morning for fifty years, I faced the next page defenseless and unprepared. Writing for me was a feat of self-preservation.”
