Thank you so much to 'ForceSeventeen' for sharing this Phillip Roth interview. This is one of his greatest performances and well done to Kirsty Wark for asking those brilliant questions.
As a writer I perfectly undestand what he means when he speaks about panic, frustration, not knowing what to write next. Writing is a painful ride, let me tell you, even if you are a good author. The whole process is a long frustrating journey and once you arrive to the finish you hope you didn't lose all that time writing garbage.

sean craine perhaps he was thinking about asking her "Are you game?" and giving her his phone number on a slip of paper. That'd be a nice parallel between life and fiction.
"It wouldn't be a life without regrets"
“A book about a good son is interesting. A book by a good son is slanted.” Awesome quote.
so perfect - the "ethical restraints" and "customary cautions" drop away when writing!
I enjoy he’s an intellectual, and uses easily understood words.
his books brought life to me

He had a lovely timbre to his voice. I'm rather surprised by his personal warmth given how misanthropic his writing can be. Neat!

Perfectly stated
I have some reading to catch up on! loved the show on KQED last night where I first met Philip Roth!...better late than never!♥
You're absolutely right --in the earlier interviews I've seen with Roth he's not quite as engaged as he is here.
He has a nice laugh.
Lovely piece of shared time. He liked her.
"Cheat ourselves" cannot be any truer than that.

nice interview with the great Mr. Roth
His main house 🏡 in enormous. The interview is at his studio.
This is a pretty good show. Philip Roth has completely stopped writing. He is a fascinating man.
very good interview. Think Philip was flirting a bit...
Oh he totally was! Deviant!
Genius !!
A keen observer of hypocracy is Mr. Roth.
ummglick What's "hypocracy"?
2:30-2:57 something similar christian monks employ when fatigued by the burden, the cross of their spiritual path.. very interesting
I get the impression he was flirting here, or am I reading too much into it?
sean craine reading too much into it

This man will be another Nietzsche and Camus and Sartre in the future! The whole history of literature hasn't seen such thing.
lol no
He’s a proud Jew 👍👍🇮🇱🇮🇱 As I’m also Jewish, this is what we do. And it works.
How come you changed your name ?
Imagine being proud to be Jewish...
