Hardcover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1095 pages. Published in 2011. Volume Seven of The Library of America's definitive Collected Works of Philip Roth. The First Slipcased Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a Slipcased Edition for distribution to libraries and LOA subscribers only. None of the copies was sold to the public. The Slipcased Edition has the same ISBN as the regular trade edition. The Slipcased Edition is now rare. Printed to the highest standards on acid-free paper, utilizing sewn binding, closely woven rayon cloth boards, satin bound-in ribbon marker, and a page layout that is both readable and elegant, each volume is guaranteed to last for several generations of readers and collectors (despite frequent and regular use, the estimated life span of Library of America Editions is 1000 years; un-used, they will last forever). Presents Volume Seven of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "American Pastoral", "I Married A Communist", and "The Human Stain". Gathers together the masterly American Trilogy, a milestone in contemporary literature. "In 'American Pastoral' (1997), Swede Levov is wrenched from the tranquillity of his domestic life and into the turbulent 1960's by his cherished daughter, an antiwar terrorist. 'I Married A Communist' (1998), a story of betrayal set in America's anti-Communist 1940's, recounts the rise and fall of radio star Ira Ringold, exposed by his wife as 'an American taking his orders from Moscow'. 'The Human Stain' (2000) is set in 1998, when America is whipped into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of the President. In a small New England college town, an aging Classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues decree that he is a racist. The charge is a lie, but the real truth about Silk would astonish his most virulent accuser" (Publisher's blurb). "One knows when one is reading something that will permanently enter the culture" (Cynthia Ozick). "Our foremost novelist since Faulkner" (Harold Bloom). Philip Roth was only the third writer to be so honored by The Library of America while still alive. Published in chronological order, the entire oeuvre consists of ten volumes in all and will surely be regarded as one of the "high spots" in The Library of America Series. Roth famously announced in 2012 that he has permanently stopped writing. Philip Roth died on May 22, 2018 of congestive heart failure, literally of heartbreak, at the age of 85. An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Roth collectors. These titles are great books.

Please note: The First Slipcased Edition was distributed to libraries and LOA subscribers only. None of the copies was sold to the public. A rare copy thus.

Without DJ, as issued. Presents Volume Four of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "The Ghost Writer", "Zuckerman Unbound", "The Anatomy Lesson", and "The Prague Orgy". The trilogy and epilogue that constitute Roth's wholly original investigation into the unforeseen consequences of art, mainly in libertarian America, and then, by contrast, in Soviet-suppressed Eastern Europe. The LOA volume marks the inclusion and very first publication of his adaptation of "The Prague Orgy" for American television, which features characters and scenes that are not found in the novella. Nathan Zuckerman appears (as a wry writer/observer rather than omniscient genius/conscience) in three more major novels: "Exit Ghost" was published in the same month as the present volume, echoes the first novel, "The Ghost Writer", and is Zuckerman's eighth, and final, appearance in the Rothian universe. "One knows when one is reading something that will permanently enter the culture" (Cynthia Ozick). "Our foremost novelist since Faulkner" (Harold Bloom).

Four works which show the range and originality of Philip Roth's fictional art.

Without DJ, as issued. Presents Volume Three of The Collected Works of Philip Roth: "The Great American Novel", "My Life As A Man", and "The Professor of Desire". Three markedly different novels that together trace a crucial period in the bold evolution of one of America's indispensable novelists. "Surely the funniest novel ever written about baseball, 'The Great American Novel' (1973) turns our national pastime into unfettered picaresque farce. The cast of improbable characters includes Gil Gamesh, the pitcher who actually tried to kill the umpire, John Baal, the ex-con first baseman, and the House Un-American Activities Committee. 'My Life As A Man' (1974), Roth's most blistering novel, presents the treacherous world of Strindberg nearly a century later in the story of a fierce marital tragedy of obsession and blindness and desperate need. 'The Professor of Desire' (1977), the novel that prompted Milan Kundera to proclaim Roth 'a great historian of modern eroticism', follows an adventurous man of intelligence and feeling into and out of the tempting wilderness of erotic possibility" (Publisher's blurb).
