The human stigma

We are talking about a clever writer. And a clever novel. As for the writer, critics consider him the sheikh of contemporary American fiction. Philip Roth, Philip Milton Roth, born in 1933, Newark city, New Jersey, USA. His star began to shine in 1959 with his first novella "Goodbye Columbus," which won the National Book Award, and is a frank and satirical portrait of the lives of American Jews. Then his fame spread remarkably with the release of the novel "Portnoy's Complaint" in 1969, that scandalous satirical novel that achieved crazy sales. Afterwards, his books, which number nearly thirty, have often won numerous and repeated awards, rarely won by a writer more than once in his lifetime. Among them is the prestigious Fokner Award, which he won three times, including for this novel "The Human Stain" 2001.
