The Journey of Philip Roth
This essay on Philip Roth places the writer and the man within the perspective of a personal memoir. Mr. Solotaroff is editor of NEW AMERICAN REVIEW and a contributor to many periodicals. Roth and Solotaroff grew up in northern New Jersey, studied together at the University of Chicago, and this article is dedicated to Napier Wilt, now retired, who was one of their teachers.
