![]() The concept of a fantastical premise that provokes serious rumination is hardly new to Roth: in The Breast, David Kepesh awakens one morning to find himself turned into a giant mammary gland and must confront questions of identity. ![]() ![]() He posits an ingenious “what if,” and then cunningly closes the gap between farfetched hypothetical and possible reality. ![]() Armed with substantial research and strategically deploying set-piece hamish humor, Roth explores through the eyes of young Philip Roth - seven when the Republicans nominate the famous Nazisympathizing aviator - the complex theme of American anti-Semitism. Lindbergh has been elected America’s 33rd president, defeating FDR in a landslide. ![]() Audaciously original and richly ironic, Roth’s new fiction, already categorized as another of the “Roth books” because its narrator bears the author’s name and facts resonate autobiographically, bores in on what it means to be a Jew in America. ![]()

Very few authors can pull it off, and even fewer can master it. ![]() In precise and deliberate prose, you can explain why and how your fictional world is ending, but writing something that really conjures the end-with the many cogs in the machine of civilization that have to break down, and the consequences of the failure of each one-is much harder, particularly if you’d like to do it with heart and thrills and something resembling a thesis statement about the human condition. It’s not easy to write the end of the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Published by Image in Fall 2015, MONSTRESS is set in an alternate, matriarchal 1920’s Asia and follows a girl’s struggle to survive the trauma of war.
