Along with Saul Bellow's Herzog, Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint defined Jewish American literature in the 1960s. Roth's masterpiece takes place on the couch of a psychoanalyst, an appropriate jumping-off place for an insanely comical novel about the Jewish American experience. Roth has written several great books--Goodbye, Columbus and When She Was Good among them, but it is perhaps Portnoy's Complaint for which he is best known.
Philip Milton Roth (born March 19, 1933, Newark, New Jersey[1]) is an American novelist. He gained early literary fame with the 1959 collection Goodbye, Columbus (winner of 1960's National Book Award), cemented it with his 1969 bestseller Portnoy's Complaint, and has continued to write critically-acclaimed works, many of which feature his fictional alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman. The Zuckerman novels began with The Ghost Writer in 1979, and include the Pulitzer Prize-winning American Pastoral (1997).

因为“幽默”而买来看,书中犹太人的幽默感确实很特别,是兼具反思、自怜和自嘲的幽默感,屡次忍不住大笑,笑完又感觉苦涩。因为家庭的缘故,Portnoy从童年起就在幸福与不幸两个极端之间努力做个好孩子,又因是犹太人的缘故,对外邦人的复杂情绪也是在两个极端之间,所以他长大终于成为一个特别拧巴的人。符合父母的诸多期望,和符合正宗犹太人的要求,是两种不自由,是两副既独立又关联着的枷锁,可是破除又何其难,因为这枷锁早已作为Portnoy人生的标准刻在了心里。最喜欢的段落是Monkey在回纽约的路上关掉收音机,说了六个Wouldn't it(that) be nice(sth.)...还有Portnoy在飞机盘旋准备降落特拉维夫时涌上心头的回忆。
评分看得我都高潮了

评分Hahahaha this is sooo Jewish. ps 关于主人公母亲的健康饮食强迫症,联想到Alessandro Gassman(n)说他家也这样,所以他们每天在自己家吃完就去隔壁Tognazzi家接着吃。——论犹太人聚居的必要性。
