Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - America s most celebrated writer returns with a definitive edition of his essential statements on literature, his controversial novels, and the writing life, includingincluding six pieces published here for the first time and many others newly revised.Throughout a unparalleled literary career that includes two National Book Awards (Goodbye, Columbus, 1959 and Sabbath s Theater, 1995), the Pulitzer Prize in fiction (American Pastoral, 1997), the National Book Critics Circle Award (The Counterlife, 1986), and the National Humanities Medal (awarded by President Obama in 2011), among many other honors, Philip Roth has produced an extraordinary body of nonfiction writing on a wide range of topics: his own work and that of the writers he admires, the creative process, and the state of American culture. This work is collected for the first time in Why Write , the tenth and final volume in the Library of America sdefinitive Philip Roth edition. Here is Roth s selection of the indispensable core of Reading Myself and Others,the entirety of the 2001 book Shop Talk, and Explanations, a collection of fourteen later pieces brought together here for the first time, six never before published. Among the essays gathered are My Uchronia, an account of the genesis of The Plot Against America, 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 New Yorker s website in 2012 to counter the online encyclopedia s egregious errors about his life and work; and The Ruthless Intimacy of Fiction, a speech delivered on the occasion ofhis eightieth birthday that celebrates the refractory way of living of Sabbath s Theater s Mickey Sabbath. Alsoincluded are two lengthy interviews given after Roth s retirement, which take stock of a lifetime of work.LIBRARY OF AMERICAis an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

As a retrospective summation of his essays and interviews, it is essential reading in tandem with Roth's novels, both for the discussions of his own books and as a record of his profound engagement with other writers: Kafka, Bellow, Malamud, and the leading figures of Cold War-era Czechoslovakia among them. ***Divided into three sections, "Why Write?" begins with Roth's selection of the indispensable core of "Reading Myself and Others", first published in 1975 and expanded for a second edition ten years later. The volume's second section presents in its entirety the 2001 book "Shop Talk", a series of conversations with writers such as Aharon Appelfeld, Primo Levi, and Edna O'Brien, as well as essays on Malamud, Bellow, and the artist Philip Guston. The concluding section, "Explanations," comprises fourteen later pieces collected here for the first time, six of them never before published.'
