Portnoy's Complaint
Portnoy's Complaint
by Philip Roth
read: circa 2001
Time 100 Novels, Modern 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.
