- full spall of Philip Roth’s career-from the
early controversies surrounding the stories in Cïoodbyey
CZahíttílfíís to his recent assessments of his work and
corrections of tlie record--Why U/mr? shows at every
torn tlie vij»or, acuity, anci persuasiv e power of Roth’s
brilliant nonfiction. 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.”
