With the passing of Philip Roth the world has lost a lion of literature.
All my favorite writers are dying off. John Updike, Saul Bellow, Edward Albee, and now Philip Roth. Who will take their place? No one. There is literally no one who can fill the shoes of theses giants. With the passing of Philip Roth follows the death of the Great American Novel.
No more….

I know what you mean. Roth was fantastic. Of his books that I’ve read, I suppose that my favorite is Sabbath’s Theater.

Spot on. There is no one to take their place. Today’s 30ish crowd think Harry Potter is great literature.
