Roth’s Pastoral Pictorial

Filed under Uncategorized

HTMLGIANT is one of many writing-related blogs, this one like the bratty stepchild of the rest. Its posts, like all blogs’, are hit or miss. Today, a bull’s-eye: “The ecstasy of a faint outdoor wind: A photo essay by Philip Roth.”

“Let me tell you something mother fuckers: it’s not easy writing all day. Sometimes I like to take a long walk by the stone wall and sit down and wait for a mojito — which never comes. If one were to magically appear in my lap, I’d believe in surrealism once and for all; but for now, social realism will have to do.”

N.B.: Yers truly = big adoring fan of P. Roth.
