<<Would you have him start on Oprah, or somewhere
else?>>
You're so fucking transparent. There's nothing in
what I'm saying that suggests he should go on daytime
televison.
<<And I'm still unclear about how you defend the
assertion that eschewing celebrity ...>>
Nor have I been talking about celebrity, other than
that his actions have created for himself.
<< ...offering oneself up as talk show fodder on US
TV. Like most people, he's managed to avoid that
indignity.>>
More of the same.
The Telegraph said of Roth:
“His comments risk the fierce opprobrium that has
greeted other American intellectuals - among them
Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal and Susan Sontag - who have
dared to question the patriotism that still dominates
America's public rhetoric. But with his reputation in
recent years cemented by a sequence of intensely
political novels - including The Human Stain, I
Married A Communist and American Pastoral - his is a
powerful voice of dissent.”
Meanwhile Pynchon stays home, stays mute, and avoids
the subway.
