- Synopsis
- From the introduction: "Each of the seventeen chapters that follow is an attempt to glimpse beneath one of Philip Roth's masks, while at the same time acknowledging the possibility of other masks layered in other reaches. The contributors vary widely in their critical perspectives, but such diversity parallels the multifaceted nature of Roth's writings. Nevertheless, all of the analyses share a common ground in their efforts to present a unique reading of one or more of Roth's works. Each chapter introduces a particular book (sometimes more than one), provides a brief summary of the text's storyline, moves on to an examination of its various literary elements (i.e., discusses basic critical issues pertaining to the plot, characters, settings, themes, symbols, points of view, and style), and then contextualizes the significance of the book within the overall body of Roth's oeuvre."
