Philip Milton Roth (March 19, 1933 – May 22, 2018) was an American novelist.
Roth's fiction, regularly set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey, is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "supple, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of American identity.
