Philip Roth and Czechoslovakia

Original language description

This article, introduced by my personal interview with the Jewish American writer Philip Roth, examines the roots of Roth?s interest in Czechoslovakia and the ways in which the country - and Czech characters - are reflected in his fiction. It focuses onthree works in which Roth depicted Czechoslovakia or Czech immigrants - The Prague Orgy, The Professor of Desire and Deception. Roth?s interest in the Czech nation, and in Eastern and Central Europe generally, had both personal and political dimensions,which are voiced to the greatest extent in the novella The Prague Orgy; this work compares uprooted Czech immigrants in New York with the persecuted dissident artists and intellectuals of Prague in the 1970s.
