PHILIP ROTH
Signed First Day Cover honoring John Steinbeck
First Day Cover signed: "Philip Roth", 6½x3½. FDC honoring John Steinbeck, 15-cent stamp
affixed, postmarked Salinas, Californa, February 27, 1979, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE.
American author Philip Roth (1933-2018) won the National Book Award in 1960 for
Goodbye Columbus. His American Pastoral (1997) won the Pulitzer Prize. In 2006, the
New York Times Book Review asked over 200 writers and literary critics to name the most
important novel of the last 25 years. Twenty-two books were named, of which six were
by Roth. His many awards include a second National Book Award (for Sabbath Theatre,
1995), the PEN awards, and the inaugural Franz Kafka Prize (2001). Recent Roth novels are
The Plot Against America (2004), an alternate history in which Charles Lindbergh defeats
FDR for President in 1940; and Everyman (2006). Roth, who delights in mixing fact and
fiction and creating ambiguity about which is which, has claimed that Operation Shylock is
a true story, but that the Mossad told him to call it a work of fiction. Faint pencil erasure
touches "Phil" of signature. Otherwise, fine condition.
