Descrizione

Philip Roth is one of the most popular American novelists in German-speaking countries. His novels often reached the top ten of German bestseller listings. In 2009, he received a literary award from the WELT, a German newspaper, and German-speaking journalists ritually lament that he has not yet been awarded the Nobel Prize. I suggest that German, Austrian, and Swiss media not only revere Roth for his literary merits, but that they repeatedly approach him as a public intellectual.
