re: Pulitzer prize winning author Philip Roth dead at 85

Loved American Pastoral.

One of the few writers from the second half of the 20th Century that didn't shy away from writing about male sexuality in all its lurid, hedonistic, downright gross glory.

The Human Stain is as prescient a novel from the 90s as you'll ever find - its themes about race, power, poltical correctness, college campus censorship, and, of course, sexual judgment are all still incredibly relevant today.
