About this product
Product Information
In Philip Roth's intimate intellectual encounters with an international and diverse cast of writers, they explore the importance of region, politics and history in their work and trace the imaginative path by which a writer's highly individualized art is informed by the wider conditions of life. With Primo Levi, Roth discusses the stubborn core of rationality that helped the Italian chemist-writer survive the demented laboratory of Auschwitz. With Milan Kundera, he analyzes the mix of politics and sexuality that made him the most subversive writer in communist Czechoslovakia. With Edna O'Brien, he explores the circumstances that have forced generations of Irish writers into exile. Elsewhere Roth offers appreciative portraits of two friends--the writer Bernard Malamud and the painter Philip Guston--at the end of their careers, and gives us a masterful assessment of the work of Saul Bellow. Intimate, charming, and crackling with ideas about the interplay between imagination and the writer's historical situation, Shop Talk is a literary symposium of the highest level, presided over by America's foremost novelist.

Reviews
"Roth manages to tease from his subjects the convictions that fuel their work and the vulnerabilities that make them human.... Yet another example of [his] clarity of purpose and singular intelligence." -- The New York Times Book Review "[Roth] brings out something adamantine and irreducible about each of his interlocutors.... Ring[s] with what his readers will recognize as ... Rothian intelligence." -- The New York Times "Fascinating glimpses of some of the deans of postwar literature [and] a working diagram of the very engine that makes Roth run." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "A wonderful book.... This is a book about urgency, responsibility and dedication in the face of mortal danger, and Roth asks all the right questions--and he is unafraid to do so at length. The answers are consistently enlightening, whether about morality, influence or technique." -- The Guardian, "Roth manages to tease from his subjects the convictions that fuel their work and the vulnerabilities that make them human.... Yet another example of [his] clarity of purpose and singular intelligence." -The New York Times Book Review "[Roth] brings out something adamantine and irreducible about each of his interlocutors.... Ring[s] with what his readers will recognize as...Rothian intelligence." -The New York Times "Fascinating glimpses of some of the deans of postwar literature [and] a working diagram of the very engine that makes Roth run." -Los Angeles Times Book Review, "Roth manages to tease from his subjects the convictions that fuel their work and the vulnerabilities that make them human....
