There's a rather fabulously good

interview with Philip Roth up at the Guardian. Read it if you are wishing you were a literary journalist, it made me extremely glad that I do not have to interview scary and irascible authors. . . . In the end, though, the interviewer Martin Krasnik made out really well and got Roth to say some excellent stuff. But you do not envy him the beginning and middle. . . .
