NP - Roth's Women

[Riot Riot]

 for me, judging an author or a book by what s/he does not write is totally inadequate. how is something like a statement that roth´s women should be more than what they are justified, by the way? i can think of any random requirement i wish my favorite books to have which they don´t. there is always a lack in writing, it´s up to the reader to make it work. however, that can only be done by what´s there. on the other hand, if roth focusses on man, it becomes difficult to say something reliable about his women. 
> Were Roth a lesser writer, it wouldn't matter; his greatness, however, transforms that lack from a simple failing into a reverberating anguish." <
and this viewpoint is ridiculous, i think. i wonder what the reason may be why it matters because roth is great. sometimes it seems when an author has become respected as a great contemporary writer s/he also becomes common good and everybody feels like commenting about what should ne there in the works to really justify the reputation.
have a nice day.
