Book description
Roth's debut book, a novella and short stories about Jews in contemporary America, won a National Book Award in 1959 and established him as an important writer. While his insight into the Jewish-American experience won him a large audience, his realistic characterizations alienated many American Jews, who considered him anti-Semitic--a description that outraged Roth, and that he has felt compelled to address periodically throughout his career.
