Portnoy's Complaint



Portnoy's Complaint
by Philip Roth
read: circa 2001
Time 100 NovelsModern Library #52, Guardian 1000 Novels

I didn't read a lot in college, and sadly what I did read I remember little of.  Having read and enjoyed Goodbye, Columbus, I picked up Portnoy's Complaint, often considered Roth's masterwork.  I recall liking it but few of the specifics.  I love Roth and rarely feel this way about his work, but: I do think this is a novel that might have resonated with me more were I Jewish.
