Philip Milton Roth (born March 19, 1933) is an American novelist.
He first gained attention with the 1959 novella Goodbye, Columbus, an irreverent and humorous portrait of American Jewish life for which he received the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Roth's fiction, regularly set in Newark, New Jersey, is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "supple, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. His profile rose significantly in 1969 after the publication of the controversial Portnoy's Complaint, the humorous and sexually explicit psychoanalytical monologue of "a lust-ridden, mother-addicted young Jewish bachelor," filled with "intimate, shameful detail, and coarse, abusive language."
Philip Roth appeared in over twenty television shows and movies beginning in 1961 with a small role in an episode of Tallahassee 7000. He was in several notable films in the early 70s such as What's Up, Doc? where he played 'Mr Jones', Catch-22 as 'Doctor', One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest as 'Woolsey', and Harry and Tonto as 'Vegas Gambler'. He also had roles in numerous smaller films as well as several TV shows such as Tales from the Dark Side as 'Sam Larchmont/Wilson Farber' as well as Cagney and Lacey as 'Sullivan'.
Is the novel a dying animal? In this segment from TheDailyBeast.com's Web series, 'The Beast Bar,' Philip Roth tells Tina Brown it certainly is.

‘Swede’ Levov is living the American dream. He glides through life sustained by his devoted family, his demanding yet highly rewarding (and lucrative) business, his sporting prowess, his good looks. He is the embodiment of thriving, post-war America, land of liberty and hope.

American Pastoral
‘Swede’ Levov is living the American dream. He glides through life sustained by his devoted family, his demanding yet highly rewarding (and lucrative) business, his sporting prowess, his good looks. He is the embodiment of thriving, post-war America, land of liberty and hope.
Until the sunny day in 1968, when the Swede’s bountiful American luck deserts him.
The tragedy springs from devastatingly close to home. His adored daughter, Merry, has become a stranger to him, a fanatical teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism that plunges the Levov family into the political mayhem of sixties America, and drags them into the underbelly of a seemingly ascendant society.
Rendered powerless by the shocking turn of events, the Swede can only watch as his pastoral idyll is methodically torn apart.
