Philip Milton Roth, born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1933 has won the PEN/Faulkner Foundation’s 2007 award for fiction for his novel "Everyman" -- making Roth the first writer to receive the award three times. He won in 1994 for "Operation Shylock" and in 2001 for "The Human Stain."
A major figure in contemporary American literature, Roth
is a writer whose body of work is characterized by the
social criticisms underlying its comic qualities and has
been referred to as the "American Franz Kafka."
A winner of the Pulitzer Prize, National Medal of Arts,
National Book Award, and a host of other honors, Roth
has continued, since beginning his writing career in the
1960s, to provoke readers with his unique perspective
on U.S. culture and society.
