The birthday boy, looking decidedly more bored than he\u2019d be if he were reading our back issues.<\/p><\/div>\n

Philip Roth turns eighty-one today. You must be wondering: How can you, little old you<\/i>, partake of such an historic occasion? Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. You could masturbate into a piece of raw liver, \u00e0 la Alexander Portnoy; you could masturbate on your mistress\u2019s grave, like Mickey Sabbath; or you could masturbate into your beloved\u2019s hair, as David Kepesh does.<\/p>\n

Then again, there\u2019s no law saying life must imitate art. If you\u2019re absolutely set on not <\/i>paying tribute through masturbation, there is one other option: you can peruse our archives, where you\u2019ll find a whole host of work by, about, or otherwise in the orbit of Philip Roth. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s \u201cThe Conversion of the Jews<\/a>,\u201d a short story The Paris Review<\/i> published in 1958, later collected in Goodbye, Columbus<\/i>:<\/p>\n

\n

If one should compare the light of day to the life of man: sunrise to birth; sunset\u2014the dropping down over the edge\u2014 to death; then as Ozzie Freedman wiggled through the trapdoor of the synagogue roof\u2014his feet kicking backwards bronco-style at Rabbi Binder\u2019s outstretched arms\u2014at that moment the day was fifty years old. As a rule, fifty or fifty-five reflects accurately the age of late afternoons in November, for it is in that month, during those hours, that one\u2019s awareness of light seems no longer a matter of seeing, but of hearing: light begins clicking away, in fact, as Ozzie locked shut the trapdoor in the rabbi\u2019s face, the sharp click of the bolt into the lock might momentarily have been mistaken for the sound of the vast gray light that had just throbbed through the sky.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And \u201cEpstein<\/a>,\u201d another story from Goodbye, Columbus<\/i>:<\/p>\n

\n

At the corner luncheonette he bought his own paper and sat alone, drinking coffee and looking out the window beyond which the people walked to church. A pretty young shiksa<\/em> walked by, holding her white round hat in her hand; she bent over to remove her shoe and shake a pebble from it. Epstein watched her bend, and he spilled some coffee on his shirt front. The girl\u2019s small behind was round as an apple beneath the close-fitting dress. He looked, and then as though he were praying, he struck himself on the chest with his fist, again and again. \u201cWhat have I done! Oh, God!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s our seminal Art of Fiction interview<\/a> with Roth, from 1984:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s all the art of impersonation, isn\u2019t it? That\u2019s the fundamental novelistic gift \u2026 I am a writer writing a book impersonating a writer who wants to be a doctor impersonating a pornographer\u2014who then, to compound the impersonation, to barb the edge, pretends he\u2019s a well-known literary critic. Making fake biography, false history, concocting a half-imaginary existence out of the actual drama of my life is<\/em> my life. There has to be some pleasure in this job, and that\u2019s it. To go around in disguise. To act a character. To pass oneself off as what one is not. To pretend<\/em>. The sly and cunning masquerade.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you\u2019re really looking to party hearty, there\u2019s Roth\u2019s speech<\/a> at our 2010 Revel; Roth reading a eulogy for his high school teacher<\/a>, Bob Lowenstein; an account of Roth\u2019s eightieth birthday party last year<\/a>; and Roth giving invaluable life advice<\/a> (\u201cquit while you\u2019re ahead\u201d) to a young writer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more pleasure than you could give yourself, if we dare say so.<\/p>\n
