1. Having many Jewish characters make him seem "Jewish."
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.26.13)
But his assertion that he is an American writer rings the bell of truth with me after reading several of his books. Many non-Jews writers also make Jewish characters popular. The joke is that there is no coherent understanding as to who is a Jew. It's a catch-all word, making writers' lives easier; like syaing "walks like a duck, quacks like a duck ..." yada yada.
2. Roth wrote the same book a dozen times
naro ,   nyc   (03.26.13)
He became so repetitive and predictable and boring that it is certainly time for him to retire. He should have done so 30 years ago.
3. also....

...a big homophobe, i'm afraid.
