Philip Roth is dead...finally, at age 85

I have never read anything that Philip Roth wrote, except in excerpts of invariably laudatory reviews of his work--and I have always found the reviews singularly unpersuasive, and the excerpts repulsive: Always something about being obsessively heterosexual, East Coast Jewish, and masturbating. Schadenfreude for Zionists. Was there more?  I'll have to read the obituaries to find out--if I care to.
