The most brilliant literary critics of American capitalist society just happen to be Jewish. It is no accident . I am not familiar with Roth but the above article by David Walsh arouses my interest in him.
I am more familiar with Arthur Miller and " Death of a Salesman "- and his experience with the McCarthy era.
Too bad there has been such a decline in general literacy even among the " educated " middle class.
