Life
Roth is a graduate of The Dalton School, Columbia University, and began but did not finish a PhD in Comparative Literature from Yale University.[3][4] In 2009, he was awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts,[5] and the Roger Shattuck prize for literary criticism in 2011.[6] He lived for many years in Philadelphia.[7]
He resigned from his masthead position at n+1 in response to the publication of what he called "an unapologetic, celebratory account of the pro-Palestinian rallies on Oct. 8" following the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.[8]
Roth was previously married to Emily Wilson.[9]
Essays and criticism
His work has appeared in the Dissent,[10] New York Times, Harper's, The London Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement and the Nation.[11] His memoir, The Scientists: A Family Romance, about his father's death and "truths and limitations in literature",[12] came out in 2012.[13]
