Book Synopsis
Offers a critical new perspective on Philip Roth's work by exploring it in the era of autofiction, highly charged racial reckonings, and the #MeToo movement. The book poses provocative new questions about the author, and examines Roth's work in the context of race, revealing how it often trafficked in stereotypes.

Trade Review
Despite long-standing attention paid Roth by literary critics, theorists, and commentators, The Philip Roth We Don’t Know is a startlingly refreshing and astoundingly comprehensive intervention in the field known as Roth studies. Berlinerblau asks that we take the long view, one that is rich in nuance, vigorous in its attention to broader trends and experiences, and one that doesn’t shy away from asking difficult, challenging, and even painful questions." - Jessica Lang, Baruch College of CUNY, author of Textual Silence: Unreadability and the Holocaust

"[A] fresh account of the literary legacy of the award-winning and controversial author.... Intriguing new perspectives on a contentious writer." - Kirkus Reviews
