      Will There Ever Be Another Writer Like Philip Roth?

      May 23, 2018

      I first discovered Philip Roth at age fifteen. My parents, bless them, placed Goodbye, Columbus in my hands. Having grown up in the suburbs of Detroit—the rock-ribbed WASP enclave of Grosse Pointe—I found him exotic, thrilling. His audacity staggered

      Fran Lebowitz is a famous writer who famously doesn’t write. “I’m really lazy and writing is really hard and I don’t like to do hard things,” she says, and it’s the rare writer who would not have some sympathy with that. Yet, as all writers also know

      Was HST a likable scalawag, as all of his cronies testify in this oral history...or a frequently rude, obnoxious, self-centred asshole, the impression I got as I read these back-slapping accounts of Hunter's foibles and follies, as assembled by two of his best buddies. To my mind, HST does NOT come off particularly well in these lurid episodes, his bad behavior frequently egged on or tolerated or enabled by those who claimed to be his friends. Lots of wild stories but no real insights into Thompson, the MAN. What made him tick, what strange channel was he tuned to that allowed him to march to his own drummer right to the very end? THE KITCHEN READINGS offers no clues, only more additions to the HST myth. Which is maybe the way he wouldn't have liked it...
