Conversation: Philip Roth

I doubt if it's true that people stop reading. The most avid readers I know are my 11-year-old brother and his schoolmates.

Sean Fitts...The New Jersey Literature Examiner for Examiner. Check out his articles online.

Has he released anymore on how much of Operation Shylock is fiction?
He's the main character of his book, he's taking part in research for hague trials, he has a nervous breakdown, his identity is stolen and he's running around the Palestinian area's and the people who are using his identity are foreign nationals as well including another American who looks stunningly like him and is also an American.

Your point?

"what I ate for breakfast do you mean?"
lol

The tireless old master has just recently produced another offering that is soon to be in wide release and I will race to Powells to pick up the hard-copy. As for his comment about the fate of the novel I write it off as a brief surge of despair he might likely retract in the future.

Interestingly enough, V.S. Naipaul has said the same thing: Novels are a dying art.

Some were saying the novel was on its way to extinction after Becketts trilogy; before Roth began his brilliant career.

Time to update that computer, Philip.

Lol.
