| Philip Roth
A Jew without Jews, without Judaism, without Zionism, without Jewishness, without a temple or an army or even a pistol, a Jew clearly without a home, just the object itself, like a glass or an apple. A Jewish man with parents alive is a fifteen-year-old boy, and will remain a fifteen-year-old boy until they die! Is an intelligent human being likely to be much more than a large-scale manufacturer of misunderstanding? It isn't that you subordinate your ideas to the force of the facts in autobiography but that you construct a sequence of stories to bind up the facts with a persuasive hypothesis that unravels your history's meaning. Undermining experience, embellishing experience, rearranging and enlarging experience into a species of mythology. When you publish a book, it's the world's book. The world edits it. |
