Brilliant doco. Thank you so much!

What a treasure. A clear eyed narrative of an American. A must see for any writer.

"when a writer is born into a family, the family is finished" loved that quote!

Nice one!)

Just beginning to read "American Pastoral" having just discovered Roth. My God, he writes beautifully and insightfully. May just draw me back into reading fiction on a regular basis again.

If you have a strong stomach for vulgarity and sexual delinquency, my suggestion would be to next approach Sabbath's Theater.

Christopher, will you ever forget the intricacies of glove-making? The once-respectable boarding house?

Same story! I had troubles with reading, habe them till this day but since I've watched "Elegy" with Penelope Cruz and Ben Kingsley based on the book "The dying animal". I've bought the book! I've read the book! I loved it!❤

Read his later, shorter novels, eg Everyman. It is a masterpiece.

I have only read a few of his novels and I was overwhelmed by them. I never felt the way I did after reading two to three pages. I felt drunk. His prose intoxicated me.

You were introduced to his work at the age of five ? I hope you didn't grow up to become a disturbed and fucked up adult.

I have enjoyed this piece a great deal.

Bellissimo grazie mille ❤

Wonderful to see the beautiful Claire Bloom. So sad things went so wrong for them.

“You pour the oil on your own head.” True, I love writers, and writing.

RIP master

To write about your Jewishness and Jewish life as well as sex is to be courageous. Yes, Roth was a stand-up comic, emphasis on “stand-up”which means you stand up for who you are. In Roth’s case, he was born and brought up a Jew, a writer and a highly sexual man. His way of standing up for himself was to own it all as he saw it. “Portnoy’s Complaint” is one of the funniest books of all time. You miss it at your peril.

I agree with you, Roth is undeniably brilliant. But Roth's writing has also contributed to the general erosion of gentility, nobility, propriety, and chastity that characterised gentile society pre-WW2. Cultural standards have shifted dramatically partly due to the unprecedented influence of the Hebraic character. Many consider this a 'liberation' and a very good thing. Personally, I have my doubts...

Brilliant writer and raconteur.. alas, his imposter was correct about zionism.

Adulterous middle-aged man. Sounds like a fun reading.
