"The essays in The Cambridge Companion to Philip Roth...reflect the disparate approaches critics bring to Roth’s work, affirming its contradictory and complex nature. What these essays also make apparent is how keenly author and reader interact and how robustly Roth’s critics continue to debate the meaning of his work."
-Elaine M. Kauvar, Contemporary Literature
"Despite the plethora of recent work on Roth, this new volume has much to recommend it, since each well-written essay explores, as Parrish writes in his introduction, "Roth's multifacetedness, the constant reinvention, that is at the heart of his extraordinary career"...Recommended."
