FACTS, THE(ISBN=9780679749059) 英文原版 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　The Facts is the unconventional autobiography of a writer who

has reshaped our idea of fiction—a work of compelling candor and

inventiveness, instructive particularly in its revelation of the

interplay between life and art.

Philip Roth concentrates on five episodes from his life: his

secure city childhood in the thirties and forties; his education in

American life at a conventional college; his passionate

entanglement, as an ambitious young man, with the angriest person

he ever met (the "girl of my dreams" Roth calls her); his clash, as

a fledgling writer, with a Jewish establishment outraged by

Goodbye, Columbus; and his discovery, in the excesses of the

sixties, of an unmined side to his talent that led him to write

Portnoy's Complaint.

The book concludes surprisingly—in true Rothian fashion—with a

sustained assault by the novelist against his proficiencies as an

autobiographer.

he received the highest award of the American Academy of Arts and
