I actually fell asleep reading this book at my desk, lost half an hour of my afternoon redeemed only by the fact my Roth induced nap involved a mildly erotic dream, woke up with a dead right arm from where I had slumped over the edge of my desk, and discovered drool running from the corner of my mouth. I'm not even sure why I picked the thing up to read in the first place, it was a completely random act. Aside from the final section I had to force myself through the pages. ( ) Feiten, opgeschreven door een romanschrijver. Dat lijkt niet samen te kunnen gaan. En als Philip Roth "feiten" gaat opschrijven, en die dan ook nog voorlegt aan een van zijn bekendste romanpersonages, Nathan Zuckerman, voor commentaar, dan is duidelijk dat het woord "feiten" met een korreltje zout genomen moet worden. Spel van feit en fictie, heerlijk! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
The Facts is the unconventional autobiography of a writer who has reshaped our idea of fiction--a work of compelling candor and inventiveness, instructive particularly in its revelation of the interplay between life and art.Philip Roth concentrates on five episodes from his life: his secure city childhood in the thirties and forties; his education in American life at a conventional college; his passionate entanglement, as an ambitious young man, with the angriest person he ever met (the "girl of my dreams" Roth calls her); his clash, as a fledgling writer, with a Jewish establishment outraged by Goodbye, Columbus; and his discovery, in the excesses of the sixties, of an unmined side to his talent that led him to write Portnoy's Complaint.The book concludes surprisingly--in true Rothian fashion--with a sustained assault by the novelist against his proficiencies as an autobiographer.
