Philip Roth's late masterpiece was highly recommended by many authoritative European and American book review media, and was selected by the New York Times as one of the 50 best memoirs in the past 50 years. Philip Roth, who is good at weaving epics of human nature through novels, unexpectedly published a documentary work - "Legacy - A True Story" in 1991. The focus of his vision is no longer the vast society and grand propositions, but Ross's recently deceased father, an ordinary and humble old Jewish man. In the days before his death, his life was like a river soaked in trivial past events, flowing half-dark before the eyes of him and his son, a writer. The relationship between father and son has never been so close yet strange, both flesh-and-blood and yet estranged. When the life of a loved one enters the countdown, all the thinking and torture, all the fear and sadness, make people breathless - even if this person is Philip Roth, who is famous for his coldness.

Interviews between Philip Roth, the leading figure in American literature, and his colleagues. Writers talking to writers, facing the existential crisis of an era. "Jargon: A Writer, His Colleagues, and His Work" is one of two critical collections in the complete works of Philip Roth. The main part consists of interviews and several critical articles. As a curious reader and tricky colleague, Philip Roth interviewed seven outstanding Jewish writers from around the world - Primo Levi, Aharon Appelfield, Ivan Klima, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Milan Kundera and Edna O'Brien - starting with these writers' growth experiences, creative motivations and the environment in which they lived, and asking them very direct questions.

The novel is set in the United States in the 1990s. Because of a specious remark, Coleman, a university professor who is over 70 years old, was accused of being a "racist". After the ensuing forced resignation and the death of his wife, Coleman, who was taking the blame, broke the news of his love affair with the young female cleaner Fonya. All these incidents made Coleman hated by all parties, including Faunia's husband, a disabled Vietnam veteran. Eventually Coleman was cornered by rumors, anonymous letters and stalkers. Race, identity, individual and era, chance and fate, the novel is filled with conflicts and collisions of various elements. In Coleman's continuous "fall", the interspersed fragments intertwined with the main plot reveal that Coleman is not a Jew as he has always claimed, but a light-skinned black man; Faunya is not illiterate... These make the conflicts and collisions in the novel more three-dimensional, and the plot becomes more complicated and confusing.

This novel, which describes the dissolute life of a Jewish youth, allowed Zuckerman to say goodbye to his poor years (and his long-term partner), and began to date female movie stars, and was often harassed by passers-by. Zuckerman's fellow countryman Pepler, with his strange origins and lingering past, is an unforgettable comedy creation. Among the uproar caused by "Karnofsky", what Zuckerman couldn't let go of the most was the "notoriety" that the "semi-autobiographical" part of his famous work brought to his family. Roth introduces autobiographical elements into this book, and then explores the boundaries between fiction and reality in depth. His humorous and spicy writing style is so exquisite and sophisticated that he has fully demonstrated the craftsmanship of "the first person in American literature".

One of Roth's most famous series of works, the "American Trilogy", was released in 2000 and has won important literary awards such as the PEN Kerner Award and the WHSmith Literary Award. Its sharp words, profound thoughts, and surging passion are truly rare and precious in today's world of literary circles. Classics professor Silke Coleman was accused of being a "racist" for using the ambiguous word "ghost" to describe two absent black students in class, leading to the sudden death of his powerful wife and his resignation. After that, he began a secret relationship with the college cleaning lady Faunia Farley, but was hated and harassed by Faunia's ex-husband, a deeply traumatized Vietnam veteran, and eventually died in a suspicious car accident. As Coleman's friend and writer Nathan Zuckerman continued to investigate the incident in depth, the truth slowly emerged: it turned out that Coleman was not the Jew he claimed to be, and Fauniya was not illiterate. Everyone in the story struggled to live with their own secrets and eternal pain and unwillingness...

"My Life as a Man" was published in 1974 and is Roth's seventh novel. The novel tells the story of how Peter Tarnopol, a promising college student, a conscientious professor, and an aspiring writer, ruined his life in a frustrated love scene, a destructive marriage, and the entanglement of different types of women, especially his wife. The whole book adopts a novel structure of stories within stories, plots within plots, and digs deeper into the source of pain of this man who is in adversity and unable to extricate himself from misfortune and misfortune. By interweaving desperate fiction with searing truth, juxtaposing the characters' indecision with extreme cruelty, Roth creates a murderous tragedy about a fatal impasse between men and women.

Philip Roth's late masterpiece, winner of the 2005 Association of American Historians "Outstanding American Historical Fiction Award". "The Plot Against America" ​​is a shocking "counterfactual novel" that presents a semi-fictional alternative history of the United States. Philip Roth uses real details, reasonable situations, and a child's perspective to tell the story of Charles A. Lindbergh, the famous flying hero and fanatical isolationist, who overwhelmingly defeated Franklin Roosevelt in the 1940 presidential election. From then on, every Jewish American family lived in the shadow of fear. During the anti-Semitic government of Lindbergh, ordinary Jewish families living in Newark experienced years of horrific violence, and millions of Jewish families were torn apart... This post-9/11 work recreates a dark period that has been gradually forgotten by the United States, dramatically showing the lingering fear that envelopes the United States.

Philip Roth created countless characters, the most famous of which is Nathan Zuckerman. Roth created "Zuckerman Bound" around 1980, also known as the "Zuckerman Trilogy", which includes "The Ghost Writer", "Zuckerman Unchained" and "Anatomy Lesson". This time, the novella "Prague Orgy", which was originally included in "Anatomy Lesson", is published as a separate volume. Therefore, "Zuckerman Bound" contains four novels in total.

When David Kepsh was young, he pursued absolute personal freedom, followed the call of desire, and indulged himself. This kind of life made him physically and mentally exhausted. And when he got the chance to return to the right path of life, he hesitated, fearing that his freedom would be imprisoned by marriage. Later, he became a professor of comparative literature. While he was preparing to open a course to teach desire in European novels, he was thinking about life: he considered himself to be nothing more than a "Professor of Desire", stumbling between the pursuit of academic rationality and the pursuit of carnal satisfaction... "Professor of Desire" was published after "Breasts", but it is the preface of "Breasts". It traces the first half of David Kepsh's life, shows his experience and inner struggle before his "transformation", and reveals how he floated up and down in the sea of ​​desire, and finally became a victim.
