Editorial Reviews

"I find it impossible to explain with any certainty why a writer of such immense gifts and achievements should not be more revered." —Jewish Quarterly


"Roth has the technique and style of a major writer . . . his prose is always equal to the diverse effects he demands of it—nicely modulated irony, lyrical flights, hard concrete descriptive passages." —New Republic


"Among his earlier works are several which put into a form both stylistically and politically ominous the convictions Roth had formed about the modern world. Flight Without End is one of these: characteristically abrupt, oblique, ironic and dislocated." —Times Literary Supplement
