Philip Milton Roth bol americký spisovateľ.

Do americkej literatúry vstúpil v roku 1959 poviedkovou zbierkou Goodbye Columbus a od vtedy je jedným z najoceňovanejších autorov svojej generácie. Dvakrát získal Národnú knižnú cenu a rovnako tak aj Cenu amerických knižných kritikov a rad ďalších ocenení. V roku 1998 svoju zbierku obohatil aj o prestížnu Pulitzerovu cenu. Rad literárnych ocenení získal aj v zahraničí, najmä v Británii a vo Francúzsku. V roku 2003 mu bol na Harvard University udelený cenený titul Doctor of Letters, doktorát za literatúru.

Je známy svojimi silne autobiografickými postavami, svojim filozofickým a formálnym stieraním rozdielov medzi skutočnosťou a výmyslom, dômyselne vynaliezavým štýlom rozprávania a provokatívnym odhaľovaním americkej židovskej identity. Wikipedia

Philip Roth citáty a výroky

„Ale potěšení není člověka vlastnit. Potěšení spočívá v tomhle: Mít v místnosti ještě jednoho spoluhráče.“

Philip Roth kniha The Human Stain

Philip Roth: Citáty v angličtine

“All the tolerance of persecution that has seeped into the Jewish character — the adaptability, the patience, the resignation, the silence, the self-denial — must be squeezed out, until the only response there is to any restriction of liberties is "No, I refuse."”

Writing About Jews (1963)

“The concerns of fiction, let it be said, are not those of a statistician — or of a public-relations firm. The novelist asks himself, "What do people think?"; the PR man asks, "What will people think?"”

Writing About Jews (1963)

“Literary works do not take as their subjects characters and events which have impressed a writer primarily by the frequency of their appearance. For example, how many Jewish men, as we know them, have come nearly to the brink of plunging a knife into their only son because they believed God had commanded them to? The story of Abraham and Isaac derives its meaning from something other than its being a familiar, recognizable, everyday occurrence. The test of any literary work is not how broad is its range of representation — for all that breadth may be characteristic of a kind of narrative — but the depth with which the writer reveals whatever it may be that he has chosen to represent.”

Writing About Jews (1963)

“I do not write a story to make evident whatever disapproval I may feel for adulterous men. I write a story of a man who is adulterous to reveal the condition of such a man. If the adulterous man is a Jew, then I am revealing the condition of an adulterous man who is a Jew. Why tell that story? Because I seem to be interested in how — and why and when — a man acts counter to what he considers to be his "best self," or what others assume it to be, or would like for it to be. The subject is hardly "mine"; it interested readers and writers for a long time before it became my turn to be engaged by it, too.”

Philip Roth

Writing About Jews (1963)

“You know, the dirty little secret is no longer sex; the dirty little secret is hatred and rage. It's the tirade that's taboo. Odd that this should be so a hundred years after Dostoyevsky (and fifty after Freud), but nobody nice likes to be identified with the stuff. It's the way folks used to feel about fellatio in the good old days. "Me? Never heard of it. Disgusting."”

But is it "hostile," really, to take a look at the ferocity of the emotion they call "hostility"?
Paris Review Interview (1986)
