In my opinion, the best novelist of the last 20-30 years.

Portnoy's Complaint, funniest book I ever read. RIP

CharltonMadrid

Superb writer. Particularly loved American Pastoral and Sabbath's Theater, and the Plot against America is disturbingly relevant in the current climate. Roth was a great chronicler of American life and certainly one of the major writers of the last 50 years. RIP.

Seconded for "The Human Stain". Kicked Mailer and Updike into the long grass.

RIP.

A tremendous writer - a subversive sense of humour like no other. RIP
