Live Like Philip Roth, Literally

March 4, 2019

A two-bedroom condo in New York City’s Upper West Side, a short distance from the American Museum of Natural History and Zabars, would easily be considered prime real estate. But add the fact that it once belonged to Philip Roth, and there’s even more heft behind its $3.2 million price tag. Roth’s apartment is now for sale, and with its choice location and its floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, we doubt it will be available for very long.
