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.

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..
評分brilliant
評分因為“幽默”而買來看,書中猶太人的幽默感確實很特彆,是兼具反思、自憐和自嘲的幽默感,屢次忍不住大笑,笑完又感覺苦澀。因為傢庭的緣故,Portnoy從童年起就在幸福與不幸兩個極端之間努力做個好孩子,又因是猶太人的緣故,對外邦人的復雜情緒也是在兩個極端之間,所以他長大終於成為一個特彆擰巴的人。符閤父母的諸多期望,和符閤正宗猶太人的要求,是兩種不自由,是兩副既獨立又關聯著的枷鎖,可是破除又何其難,因為這枷鎖早已作為Portnoy人生的標準刻在瞭心裏。最喜歡的段落是Monkey在迴紐約的路上關掉收音機,說瞭六個Wouldn't it(that) be nice(sth.)...還有Portnoy在飛機盤鏇準備降落特拉維夫時湧上心頭的迴憶。
