Today is Philip Roth’s birthday.  Let’s all remember the time we rounded up a dozen pictures of him chilling out. 

“It is hard to contemplate a body of work of such magnitude and grandeur without a little melancholy. Few literary writers younger than, say, 60 have much chance of achieving a comparable yield, and one wonders how many would even want to.” In The Atlantic, Joseph O’Neill looks at the life and work of Philip Roth.
