The study of transgressive writing in Philip Roth's later novels has three significances: First, it can not only help us understand the living conditions of contemporary American Jews, but also help readers better grasp the ideological trends of contemporary American Jews and the issues they face, such as Jewish consciousness, historical consciousness, intersubjectivity, etc., Which are of great significance to the self-definition and national identity of American Jews; secondly, the study of transgressive writing in Roth's later novels reveals that transgressive writing is inherent in Roth. The modified creative method is an important means to demonstrate his sense of the historical era and an important writing strategy for his literary expression; at the same time, the study of Roth's transgressive writing also provides a reference for the study of other postmodern novelists; finally, the study of Roth's transgressive writing in his later novels reveals that transgression is not only an epistemological issue that highlights boundaries, but also an intersubjective issue that emphasizes the harmony of interpersonal relationships. It emphasizes the I-you relationship, rather than being limited to the understanding of things. There is a deeper humanistic concern behind transgression.
