No such thing in "greatest" . . . just different.
Opinions - even from "academic experts" - are entirely subjective.

@ZachClooney "Updike," according to Adam Begley, "once referred to Bloom's criticism as 'torturous,' while Roth is the would-be canonizer's pal."

Roth is great - Updike sublime. Ian McEwan is right - he was the greatest writing in English at the time of his death.

At 04:47 does he say 'for that own?. I am writing an essay on Updike and this would be great to know. Thanks.

@CastleRockFan Glad you agree with me about Philip Roth over Updike ! As you may already know, Roth doesn't really care for prizes. If he does win the Nobel Prize, and he MUST, then he will claim that it is the child in him that takes a lot of joy in it. Roth the novelist will get back to writing.

@ZachClooney Philip Roth, in my opinion, deserves the Nobel. He needs it. And by God, if he does not get it, I will go to Sweden and--

Serious writer.... popular writer. Serious critic ....popular critic. MacEwan is all. I would like to read him more before I seek for Updike.

I do admire Updike's essays and novels. But McEwan is over-rating Updike. As Harold Bloom once said, Updike is a "major stylist and a minor writer." I agree. If you are white and middle class, you will share McEwan's views. Philip Roth is the greatest living American writer.
