Unorthodox Remembers Philip Roth

Talking about the author’s place in the Jewish literary canon, and visiting his childhood neighborhood in New Jersey

June 5, 2018

Philip Roth died on May 22, 2018, and we wanted to bring you a few pieces while you wait for our next episode. First up, Mark Oppenheimer visits The Gist to talk with host Mike Pesca about Roth’s place in the literary and Jewish canon. Plus, our editor Noah Levinson goes on the Newark public library’s tour around the Weequahic neighborhood Roth grew up in.
