Indignation

Philip Roth’s new novel has now gotten negative reviews from Michiko Kakutani and Christopher Hitchens. But Hitch does assure us that Roth hasn’t given up on his most important trademark:

I think that I shall give away very little if I disclose that blow jobs and hand jobs, administered by a sweet but unstable shiksa, play a not inconsiderable part in Roth’s version of “memory cogitating for eons on itself.”
