Philip Milton Roth (born March 19, 1933, Newark, New Jersey[1]) is an American novelist. He gained early literary fame with the 1959 collection Goodbye, Columbus (winner of 1960's National Book Award), cemented it with his 1969 bestseller Portnoy's Complaint, and has continued to write critically-acclaimed works, many of which feature his fictional alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman. The Zuckerman novels began with The Ghost Writer in 1979, and include the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Pastoral (1997).

Along with Saul Bellow's Herzog, Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint defined Jewish American literature in the 1960s. Roth's masterpiece takes place on the couch of a psychoanalyst, an appropriate jumping-off place for an insanely comical novel about the Jewish American experience. Roth has written several great books--Goodbye, Columbus and When She Was Good among them, but it is perhaps Portnoy's Complaint for which he is best known.
好几个犹太人朋友给我推荐的书,说保证捧腹大笑,笑不出来可以找他们退货。看了以后果然让人又心酸又好笑。与其说这是犹太移民特有的问题,不如说是美国所有移民共同的经历,diaspora的经历。而经久不衰,大约是因为胸中有拯救人类的理想,而又难以忘记乳房和大腿的人太多,随之而生的愧疚感真是让人捧腹又纠结。
评分一般
评分一个青春放飞在反叛、自由、性幻想和喜悦中的犹太男孩 一个喋喋不休但望子成龙的老妈 一个便秘中庸的老爸 一个规规矩矩的姐姐。Portnoy后来成了华尔街才俊,三十多不愿结婚,不停地换partner不停地找不到北…… 随波逐流,还是保持自己?对有的人来说,这永远是个问题。
评分读完确信尚且没有懂Philip Roth的点 再开一本好了 最后甩的punchline倒还真是有点优秀哈哈!
评分I am most impressed with two themes of this novel: the sense of being an outsider as a Jew in the American society, and Portnoy's reluctance to settle down with a woman, or rather, his fantasy of having sex with as many women as possible. I had took it for granted that Jews are part of the American mainstream, and to read about how they struggled..
