Philip Roth Has Announced his Retirement
Hello Gentle Reader
In an unnoticed or little noticed French magazine, the literary giant of American letter’s (along with Cormac McCarthy) has announced his decision to retire. Now at the age of seventy nine, Philip Roth has exclaimed or rather thoroughly thought out decided to stop writing.
“Enough is enough! I no longer feel this fanaticism to write that I have experienced in my life,” Mister Roth explained. After writing twenty seven novels, two collections of non-fiction and three collections of writing, it is no wonder that Philip Roth has decided to call it quits. He has written enough, and has finally decided to say that, in the absence of writing he may be able to actually able to live. Other authors have shared similar sentiments regarding writing and life, such as Alice Munro.
One can hope that Philip Roth does not feel that he has wasted his life or his time writing. In a colourful and varied career that has aged like fine wine, one can certainly say that Philip Roth has not wasted his time writing. He has achieved something, which perhaps very few authors in the coming generations will achieve. Success with literary merit and verbal articulate artistic achievements.
May Philip Roth enjoy his retirement.
