Beloved American novelist Philip Roth has died at age 85. Author of more than two dozen novels, including Goodbye, Columbus, Portnoy’s Complaint, and American Pastoral, Roth garnered every accolade (except, famously, The Nobel–read our plea to the Swedish Academy here), and his passing marks the end of an era in American letters.
