"Our most accomplished novelist.... [With
Everyman] personal tenderness has reached a new intensity."
–The New Yorker "If descriptive amplitude went out with the nineteenth century, Philip Roth, who strides the whole time and territory of the word, has resuscitated it–in description revved with the power of narrative itself."
–The New York Times Book Review "Let's use a noun I've never used before: masterpiece."
–Atlantic Monthly "[Roth is] as essential to the experience of modern America-its literature, history, and moral reckoning-as any writer on the planet."
–The Boston Globe
