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'.
After Portnoy's Complaint launched him as a new literary voice, not to mention a scandalous one, Philip Roth went on to be hailed by many as America's greatest living writer. Never afraid to look hard at the extremes of human experience, he has been both consistently controversial and intensely private.
But now, having celebrated his 80th birthday in his home town of Newark, New Jersey, Roth, in conversation with Alan Yentob, is ready to tell the whole story in this special two-part film for imagine... Philip Roth Unleashed.

Philip Roth Unleashed Part 2 BBC One Imagine 2014
Alan Yentob talks to Philip Roth in the second half of a two-part film.
After his scandalous debut with Portnoy's Complaint, and the intensely personal novels of his early career, Philip Roth turned this same fearless vision to some of the great themes of the American century - civil rights, McCarthyism, the Vietnam war - as his characters become impaled on history.
In a career spanning six decades Roth became one of the most controversial and influential writers of the modern age, and only now, with the advent of his 80th birthday, is he ready to reveal all.

[Incomprehensible] I can feel the animal inside My resolve is weakening Pounding on the doors of my mind It's nearly overpowering I cannot begin to describe The hunger that I feel again Run if you intend to survive For the beast is coming to life Taking more than a glimmer Of this tainted moonlight Death approaches on this night For the animal's soul is mine We will be completed right before your eyes I have no control this time And now we both shall dine in hell tonight I can feel the calling again The primal need is filling me Changes are about to begin And now my blood is boiling I can see the fear in your eyes But you can't bring yourself to scream Time to shed the mortal disguise For the beast is coming to life Taking more than a glimmer Of this tainted moonlight Death approaches on this night For the animal's soul is mine We will be completed right before your eyes I have no control this time And now we both shall dine in hell tonight We begin the hunt tonight 'Til the power courses, the creatures take flight When the kill is close and I will be satisfied For the smell of fear tonight Wakes an ancient lust that will not be denied You're mine For the animal's soul is mine We will be completed right before your eyes I have no control this time And now we both shall dine in hell tonight For the animal's soul is mine And the world around will never hear your cries An unholy crime And now we both shall dine in hell tonight
