책소개
America’s most celebrated writer returns with a definitive edition of his essential statements on literature, his controversial novels, and the writing life, including including six pieces published here for the first time and many others newly revised.
Throughout a unparalleled literary career that includes two National Book Awards (Goodbye, Columbus, 1959 and Sabbath’s Theater, 1995), the Pulitzer Prize in fiction (American Pastoral, 1997), the National Book Critics Circle Award (The Counterlife, 1986), and the National Humanities Medal (awarded by President Obama in 2011), among many other honors, Philip Roth has produced an extraordinary body of nonfiction writing on a wide range of topics: his own work and that of the writers he admires, the creative process, and the state of American culture. This work is collected for the first time in Why Write?, the tenth and final volume in the Library of America’s definitive Philip Roth edition. Here is Roth’s selection of the indispensable core of Reading Myself and Others, the entirety of the 2001 book Shop Talk, and “Explanations,” a collection of fourteen later pieces brought together here for the first time, six never before published. Among the essays gathered are “My Uchronia,” an account of the genesis of The Plot Against America, a novel grounded in the insight that “all the assurances are provisional, even here in a two-hundred-year-old democracy”; “Errata,” the unabridged version of the “Open Letter to Wikipedia” published on The New Yorker’s website in 2012 to counter the online encyclopedia’s egregious errors about his life and work; and “The Ruthless Intimacy of Fiction,” a speech delivered on the occasion of his eightieth birthday that celebrates the “refractory way of living” of Sabbath’s Theater’s Mickey Sabbath. Also included are two lengthy interviews given after Roth’s retirement, which take stock of a lifetime of work.

Reviews
"Our hero continues his great and devouring argument with life, exhibiting a tremendous generosity of spirit towards other voyagers in literature and a magnificent defiance of the prohibition that an artist shouldn't intellectualize and defend his own work it in the public arena. At a time when we seem to be questioning every verity, Why Write? is essential reading." -- Jonathan Lethem"Why Write? is a page-turning classic, a cover-to-cover joy, a party in your head. Its sustained cry against tyranny in all its forms is required reading for this or any age." -- Mary Karr
"Consistently intelligent and entertaining." --James Campbell, The Wall Street Journal
“At a time of renewed sensitivity to questions of cultural identity, the biographical fallacy has returned in full force. Readers and critics, distraught at the nihilism of the current political nightmare, have sought comfort in fiction that affirms their principles and beliefs, fiction in which victimized peoples rise triumphant. . . . But we should hope for something more. We should hope for new Philip Roths.” --Nathaniel Rich, The New York Review of Books

필립 로스(지은이)
1933년 3월 19일 미국 뉴저지 뉴어크에서 이주민 2세대 부모 베스와 헤르만 가정의 둘째 자녀로 태어났다. 향후 자신의 글에서 수차례 언급한 유대인 공동체 위쿠아익에서 자랐으며 1950년 위쿠아익 고등학교를 졸업하고 버크넬 대학교에 진학, 시카고 대학교에서 영문학 석사 학위를 취득했다. 1959년에 발표한 첫 번째 소설 《굿바이, 콜럼버스》로 이듬해 전미도서상을 수상하여 큰 주목을 받았으며, 1969년에 출간한 《포트노이의 불평》으로 비평적, 상업적 성취를 높이 이뤄내 세계적 명성을 획득했다. 자신의 이름을 본뜬 가상의 화자 ‘필립 로스’를 내세워 20세기와 21세기 미국 생활상을 탐구하는 작품과 ‘네이선 주커먼’의 일생을 그린 작품들을 포함하여 31권의 책을 저술했다. 문학계에 기여한 업적과 공로를 세계적으로 인정받아 전미도서 비평가협회상과 전미도서상을 각각 두 번, 퓰리처상과 인터내셔널 맨부커상, 백악관에서 수여하는 국가인문학훈장과 미국문학예술아카데미 최고 권위의 상인 골드 메달 등을 수상했다. 필립 로스는 일흔이라는 고령의 나이에도 집필을 계속하다가 2012년 돌연 절필을 선언했고, 2018년 85세를 일기로 세상을 떠났다.
