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.
