PHILIP ROTH
CMYK were very sad to hear about the passing of Philip Roth – one of our greatest authors. Provocative, insightful and blessed with a devilish wit, Roth scandalised middle America with his intelligent and often sexually explicit novels which blurred the lines between reality and fiction.
Along with his alter-ego characters Nathan Zuckerman and David Kepesh we celebrate his more ribald inventions Alexander Portnoy and most notoriously Mickey Sabbath.
In memory of the great man and his work we have revised this short video.
As he once said – ‘Literature isn’t a moral beauty contest. It’s power rises from the authority and audacity with which the impersonation is pulled off; the belief it inspires is what counts.
