• W2125714833 abstract "Timothy Parrish, ed. The Cambridge Companion to Philip Roth. New York: Cambridge UP, 2007. xi + 179 pp. $75.00/$27.99.The Cambridge Companion to Philip demonstrates the vigor, vitality, and excellence that constitute contemporary Philip studies. The volume is a collection of eleven essays from leading scholars, each dealing with some of the larger subjects that are typically associated with the writer and bearing titles such as Roth and Gender, Roth and the and Roth and Israel. In an academic climate that values the critical monograph over the edited collection, it is refreshing to find an edited collection that combines the judicious, long-view approach of the academic monograph with the eclecticism of coverage that only the edited collection can offer. Parrish's thoughtful, finely tuned volume is precisely that, and it deserves to be ranked alongside some of the better monographs that have appeared recently.What is immediately striking when first approaching the volume are the confluences across the various essays: themes and issues in Victoria Aarons's essay on Eli the Fanatic and other early short stories from the Goodbye, Columbus collection (1959) are touched on in Michael Rothberg's essay on and the Holocaust, whereas Emily Miller Budick's work on the author and Israel reflects on texts and themes that recur in Parrish's essay on and ethnic identity. This is indicative of a very healthy intellectual debate and discussion, a mutual immersion in the work and ideas of fellow scholars, to say nothing of the real feat of editing for which Parrish is to be commended.The reader will identify the steady hand of the editor throughout the volume in terms of both the shape of the essays-each essay begins by way of introducing its themes, briefly sets up its theoretical methodology, and then launches into often illuminating close textual analysis-and the shape of the collection as a whole. The volume loosely follows a chronological path through Roth's writing, beginning with Goodbye, Columbus and ending with Hana Wirth-Nesher's fine study of The Plot Against America (2004) as an example of Roth's autobiographical writing. Moreover, when reading the volume from start to finish, there is a clear sense of narrative progression: where one author leaves off, another picks up. For example, Josh Cohen's close engagement with Freudian theories and Rothian doubles in Operation Shylock (1993) tallies satisfactorily with Jeffrey Berman's work on the actual psychoanalytical essays of Hans J. Kleinschmidt and their relevance for My Life as a Man (1974). Debra Shostak's essay on gender, which immediately follows, picks up the baton by beginning with reference to the 1974 text. Furthermore, many of the authors, such as Donald Kartinganer, Mark Shechner, Cohen, and Berman, align their readings with the trajectory of the author's life which is not only appropriate but in each case thoroughly convincing, given Roth's well-documented entanglements with his texts.All of the essays in this volume merit the kind of individual attention precluded by a necessarily short review piece, so just a few are mentioned in detail here. Written with real intellectual verve and stylistic brio, Derek Parker Royal's, Roth, Literary Influence and Postmodernism is one of the highlights of the volume. Documenting Roth's literary touchstones in The Professor of Desire (1977), Royal takes issue with Harold Bloom's theory of literary influence, clinamen or poetic misprision, as producing less a textual illumination than a catalogue of patrilineage. Instead, Royal favors an emphasis on the writer's literary forebears combined with his more worldly progenitors. This approach is aligned with the two quotations posted to Kepesh's bulletin board at Syracuse University. It might be similarly applied to the quotations Zuckerman notes in The Ghost Writer (1979). Royal seamlessly links this with the well-known Redface moniker that adopts for himself when attempting to classify his artistry by negating the terms of Philip Rahv's literary bifurcation. …" @default.
