Will he?
Was there ever a more gloomy (modern) meditation on love than Phillip Roth's Professor of Desire? I read it earlier in the year - and several of its (dark) passages remain with me. Chief among them:
"I have no talent, you see, I have no talent and...and lots of vanity."
I wish that he'd win the Nobel.
Not a chance: Too American, too Jewish, too great a writer, too old.
