From his debut, \u003cem\u003eGoodbye, Columbus\u003c\/em\u003e, which won the National Book Award in 1960, and the explosion of \u003cem\u003ePortnoy's Complaint\u003c\/em\u003e in 1969 to his haunting reimagining of Anne Frank's story in \u003cem\u003eThe Ghost Writer\u003c\/em\u003e ten years later and the series of masterworks starting in the mid-eighties— \u003cem\u003eThe Counterlife\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePatrimony\u003c\/em\u003e,  \u003cem\u003eOperation Shylock\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSabbath's Theater\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAmerican Pastoral\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Human Stain\u003c\/em\u003e—Roth has produced some of the great American literature of the modern era. \u003cem\u003eRoth Unbound\u003c\/em\u003e explores this great writer through his art, offering a wealth of previously undisclosed biographical details and previously unpublished material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaudia Roth Pierpont, a staff writer for \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e, has known Roth for nearly a decade. Her carefully researched and gracefully written account is filled with remarks from Roth himself, drawn from their ongoing conversations. Here are insights and anecdotes that will change the way many readers perceive this most controversial and galvanizing writer: a young and unhappily married Roth struggling to write; a wildly successful Roth, after the uproar over \u003cem\u003ePortnoy\u003c\/em\u003e, working to help writers from Eastern Europe and to get their books known in the West; Roth responding to the early, Jewish—and the later, feminist—attacks on his work. Here are Roth's family, his inspirations, his critics, the full range of his fiction, and his friendships with such figures as Saul Bellow and John Updike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRoth Unbound\u003c\/em\u003e helps us make sense of one of the most vital literary careers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46231947280594,"sku":"0d7bed45-8117-3524-9279-36c808e7055c","price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/image_a487e8d3-8ab6-4578-93c8-8457f3b0d9e4.jpg?v=1763842493","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/roth-unbound","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
