No one writing can juggle the somber and the ludicrous more adroitly than Roth
The Time
A thoughtful, even gentle, stylistically elegant novel about the paradox of male desire, that lacerating passion which may lead to happiness but cannot survive it
New York Times Book Review
Philip Roth is a great historian of modern eroticism
Milan Kundera
A profound and commanding book... There is great beauty in it, humanity and tenderness
Sunday Telegraph
He writes so well. His prose is both elegant and furious. It can be witty, tender and brutal in a single paragraph
Melvyn Bragg
Undoubtedly a fine and rewarding novel
Spectator
There are few writers around who can write about passion so elegantly and so entertainingly as Roth
Washington Post
