Annotation Cooper (English, York College, City U. of New York) presents a rereading of Roth, countering the impression he believes many readers have of him as a self-hating Jew or an offputting would- be comic. Presenting Roth instead as an ironist and master of absurdity, Cooper calls attention to the novelist's ability to reveal how flawed people experience themselves and elaborates on his development as both a writer and a Jew.
