Three interviews with Philip Roth
The response to Philip Roth's Everyman, officially published last week but on bookstore shelves for almost a month, has been almost universally rhapsodic. I've never read Roth, embarrassingly enough, and have begun Portnoy's Complaint to begin my education. To mark the occasion, here are links to three interviews with the writer, at the Los Angeles Times (April 30), on NPR's "All Things Considered" (May 2) and on Terry Gross's "Fresh Air" (May8).
