Philip Roth Releases The Continuing Presence

- Philip Roth - The Continuing Presence: New Essays on Psychological Themes, released in hardcover February 2014, is a groundbreaking psychoanalytically-themed collection of essays on Philip Roth by Dr. Jane Statlander-Slote that, for the first time in collected form, explores the insides and undersides of Philip Roth the human being and his works. The volume consists of essays and interviews revealing the surprising and sometimes shocking underworld of Roth and his books.

As a Jewish-American Philip Roth scholar, Statlander-Slote has written a number of books on Roth and related subjects, and is one of the leading scholars in these combined literary fields. In this volume, a compelling harvest of psychoanalytical themes is revealed in never-before published essays by leading American Roth scholars.

Philip Roth - The Continuing Presence: New Essays on Psychological Themes also includes a short biography and a comprehensive bibliography of Philip Roth's works as well as works written about him, including interviews, all very generously contributed by the Philip Roth Society.

A number of the volume's essays revolve around the revelations of Roth's psychoanalyst, Dr. Hans Kleinschmidt. Kleinschmidt breached doctor-patient confidentiality through an ultimately recognizable description of Roth, publishing in-therapy, highly personal monologues that Roth had revealed about himself, in Imago, a psychoanalytical journal established by Sigmund Freud.

Statlander-Slote, like Roth, was born and raised in the Newark, New Jersey Weequahic area and has taught as an English professor in Miami, Florida, as well as other avenues of education, for many years. The other contributors, Roth scholars as well, teach at various American universities and also publish books on a variety of subjects in American literature and psychologically based themes.

The book is distributed by Cardinal Publishers Group, Indianapolis, IN., and is presently available in hardcover and eBook format. http://www.cardinalpub.com
