Melissa BrodskyGUEST
The character was so familiar that he could write an entire instruction manual.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
Five years later, Philip Roth took her into darker territory in Portnoy's Complaint.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
Sophie Portnoy was intrusive, controlling, and a major source of her son's psychological torment.
Melissa BrodskyGUEST
the Jewish mother had traveled quite a distance from Sophie Tucker's beloved Yiddish mommy.
Sofia MontroneGUEST
I think I'm really in the middle on this one because the amount of time it takes you to finish a book is so personal.
Sofia MontroneGUEST
I started reading Philip Roth's American Pastoral in March and I finished it in August because I just kept forgetting that I had started reading this book and I would read 10 pages and he'd be like, oh, things aren't the way they used to be.
Sofia MontroneGUEST
And I'd be like, yeah, Philip, tell me about it.
Sofia MontroneGUEST
I'm watching movies in 10 minute clips on Instagram.
Sofia MontroneGUEST
So I don't know.
Sofia MontroneGUEST
Where would I put that? If it was my bookstore, I'd put that in the six month category.
Sofia MontroneGUEST
Probably if I were a better reader, like Philip Roth himself, it would have taken me three days to read it.
Sofia MontroneGUEST
But he didn't have Instagram.

This sounds like the world out of which Philip Roth, I mean, this is goodbye Columbus.
Willard SpiegelmanGUEST
Well, he was more in a working class neighborhood in Newark.
Willard SpiegelmanGUEST
And this was, I didn't know.
Jeffrey RosenHOST
And then we have President Nixon, whose conspiracy theories are well known, along with his anti-Semitism and racism.
Jeffrey RosenHOST
I did love Nott transcribes the best examples from the tapes, and Nixon had just read Philip Roth's A book about a fictional president called Trick E. Dixon.
Jeffrey RosenHOST
And he's completely obsessed with Roth and he says to Haldeman, Roth is of course a Jew.
Jeffrey RosenHOST
And Haldeman responds, yes, and he manages in his sick way to be kind of brilliant.
Michael CohenHOST
If there was ever a doubt that we're living through an authoritarian pooch, what's happening in Ukraine, along with the reaction from the American far right, should erase any doubts.
Michael CohenHOST
I am reminded of the 2004 Philip Roth book, The Plot Against America.
Michael CohenHOST
Roth writes of an alternate past where on the eve of World War II, Charles Lindbergh defeats Roosevelt and becomes president based on his support for a truce and tacit support of Adolf Hitler.
Michael CohenHOST
The historical Lindbergh was an isolationist who espoused a catchphrase that Donald Trump borrowed for his presidential campaign and for his inaugural address, America First.
Susan HoffmanGUEST
It's the human experience.
Susan HoffmanGUEST
This book is part of the human experience, and there are are many experiences written by heterosexual authors that are memoirs and autobiographies that mention oral sex, masturbation, Philip Roth, what was his famous book, Portnoy's Complaint, medical exams.
Susan HoffmanGUEST
Susan Hoffman.
Susan HoffmanGUEST
Susan Hoffman.
MaiaHOST
... and, like, people who are not necessarily mentally well, and, you know, I'm gonna talk about this, but okay, I'm gonna spit fire my three initial thoughts that I had about the Zizians that don't have to do with rationalism.
MaiaHOST
One is that when I first heard about this, it reminds me of this character Mary in that Philip Roth book, American Pastoral.
MaiaHOST
Mary is basically this young activist character whose radicalism turns inward on itself to the point that she becomes a Jain, which is an ancient philosophy where you're not supposed to inflict harm on any living being.
MaiaHOST
And so she ends up starving to death.
