Why Write? by Philip Roth.
This omnibus edition contains several essays from the second edition of Reading Myself and Others (1985); the complete book, Shop Talk (2001); and 14 additional nonfiction pieces never collected before, including six never published before.
Roth is one of my favorite authors. I happened to be finishing The Professor of Desire the day he died. I'm working my way through his bibliography.

ReplyDeleteHave a marvelous week.
You are so good to recognize these writers. A different memorial.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Happy Reading!
I've just got around to starting Portnoy's Complaint this week, with the passing of Philip Roth - I'm kicking myself I didn't start it sooner! It's wonderful to see so many Roth fans paying tribute. <3
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read Roth at all!
