![]() Partly, this is due to the fact that, the issues he so insistently delves into – of conflicting ethnic identities, of contradicting ideologies, and the dangers and threats these result in – are often far bigger than any one person, or his attitude, or his hometown, or his own country. Nevertheless, as The Plot Against America (2004) will hopefully reveal, Roth’s writing often extends far beyond the margins of the fictional and the unbelievable, and draws a remarkably paralleled and accurate account of the world. ![]() Whilst the focus is primarily centred on Philip Roth (as the ‘American’ and/or the ‘Jewish’) and his own integration within the American society, the intrinsic values of his writing have consequently become rather sequestered and seemingly secondary. Much commentary has been directed towards Roth’s ethnic proclivity and, to a serious extent, has seemingly resulted in diminishing the potency of his texts and their effects on the reader. There still seems to be a great confusion among the readers of Philip Roth with regards to the critical approach of his works. ![]()
