Review Quotes:
" A Political Companion to Philip Roth demonstrates powerfully the manifold ways in which Roth's writing often helped to shape, and was in turn shaped by, the larger political climate. The range of topics covered in the volume is impressive and the standard of the contributions is consistently strong." -- David Brauner, author of Contemporary American Fiction
