“Roth Unbound is filled with intelligent readings and smart judgments. Because of the author's sympathy and sharp mind, it offers real insight into the creative process itself, and into Philip Roth's high calling as a great American artist. The book is, in some ways, a radical rereading of Roth's life and his work. It is impossible, by the end, not to feel a tender admiration for Roth as a novelist and indeed for Claudia Roth Pierpont as an empathetic and brilliant critic.” WayFeelsMindBookRealEndsArtistReadingProcessCreativeImpossibleCallingOffersJudgmentSmartIntelligentFilledCriticsInsightBrilliantRadicalNovelistsWorking ItAdmirationCreative ProcessGreat AmericanPhilipEmpatheticRereadingUnboundClaudia Author:Colm Toibin

It's a pretty safe bet that they won't be out registering voters, or doing anything that might actually threaten electoral change, when they have an art car to build.” IfsMenGivingArtHardMightWantedCultureCreativeFocusCarMonthsSafeMembersResourcesToolsIntelligentPassionateBurningPreparationHard TimesOppositionWildernessVotersExileAlphasMetricsBurning Man Author:John Perry Barlow
