NYC Book Launch: Philip Roth: Stung by Life by Steven J. Zipperstein

  • 92NY 1395 Lexington Avenue New York, NY, 10128 United States (map)

Jewish historian Steven J. Zipperstein and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Joshua Cohen discuss the life and towering ambition of Philip Roth — and Zipperstein’s new landmark biography, Philip Roth: Stung By Life.

Capturing one of America’s most celebrated writers in all his philosophical, moral and literary complexity, Steven J. Zipperstein’s new biography of Philip Roth is “a work of literature itself” (Judith Thurman). Tracing Roth’s life from his childhood in Newark, New Jersey to his days rubbing shoulders with the Kennedys and engaging in a spate of famous and infamous romances, Zipperstein explores the unprecedented range of Roth’s work — from “Goodbye, Columbus” and Portnoy’s Complaint to the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Pastoral and The Plot Against America.

In celebration of the book’s launch, hear Zipperstein and Cohen discuss this major new account of Roth, drawing upon Zipperstein’s tireless archival research and over one hundred interviews, including conversations with Roth himself — revealing Roth in the context of his obsessions, American Jewishness, sexuality and freedom.

“Literary biography at its best.” — Sean Wilentz
