Roth almost six yrs. ago:New Yorker:
Philip Roth, the Seminal American Novelist, Has Died — Philip Roth, the seminal American novelist whose book “American Pastoral” won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, in 1998, has died, at the age of eighty-five. His great subjects, as Claudia Roth Pierpont wrote in this magazine, in 2006 …RELATED:
Philip Roth, Towering Novelist Who Explored Lust, Jewish Life and America, Dies at 85 — Philip Roth, the prolific, protean, and often blackly comic novelist who was a pre-eminent figure in 20th century literature, died Tuesday. He was 85 and lived in Manhattan and Connecticut.
He seemed to admit to a certain distance from everyday life. “I am seventy-eight years old, I don’t know anything anymore about America today. I see it on TV, but I am not living it anymore.”Others recently passed from the world of ink & paper: Tom Wolfe (aged 88), Adam Parfrey (aged 61). Google 'em yourself if you're interested, this reporter is not your damn mother!
