About this listen

Playing three roles with verve, Philip Roth gives a hilariously comic performance of two old men living in a cheap rooming house who pay a visit to a diffident graduate student to ask a convoluted and unusual favor.

Critic reviews

“If Roth were not so good a writer it would be the world’s duty to force him onto the stage." Saturday Review (John Ciardi)

“The Roth record is the best of this first group.” (Detroit News)

"You get the exuberant surprise of Philip Roth not only reading, but acting two disillusioned, perpetually injured old boarding house inhabitants.” (Joan Wickersham, Boston Globe)
