{"product_id":"philip-roth-david-brauner-9780719074257","title":"Philip Roth","description":"This is a groundbreaking study of the most important contemporary American novelist, Philip Roth. Reading the author alongside a number of his contemporaries, and focusing particularly on his later fiction, this book offers a highly accessible, informative and persuasive view of Roth as an intellectually adventurous and stylistically brilliant writer who constantly reinvents himself in surprising ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the heart of this book are a number of detailed and nuanced readings of Roth's works both in terms of their relationships with each other and with fiction by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thomas Pynchon, Tim O'Brien, Brett Easton Ellis, Stanley Elkin, Howard Jacobson and Jonathan Safran Foer. Brauner identifies as a thread running through all of Roth's work the use of paradox, both as a rhetorical device and as an organising intellectual and ideological principle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Brauner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719074258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719074257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 6.36w x 0.74d","brand":"David Brauner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059553399039,"sku":"9780719074257","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e54763c-ead5-434f-95fc-ddc5b16ed27a.jpg?v=1685058923","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philip-roth-david-brauner-9780719074257","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
