Philip Roth’s Best Book:
Stephen King, Richard Ford, Megan Abbott, Maria Semple and me on why "American Pastoral" is our favorite Roth book. via @nytimes – source2022-10-16T13:40:01.000Z
@jamieclimate The best audiobook experience I've ever had was listening to Ron Silver narrate Philip Roth's American Pastoral—incredibly powerful! AP is also a really interesting book about the 60s and 70s in America and parental love and environmental protest and failure. – source
