My summation of the ouevre of Philip Roth:

“Hi, I am Neil Zuckerman from Newark, New Jersey.  I’m not super religious but I grew up in a Jewish family, and I spend a lot of time (consciously and unconsciously) thinking about Jewish identity and assimilation in modern American society.  I will likely be radically confronted with this conflict in one way before my story ends, at which point I will conclude in a very non-conclusive way that total assimilation is not really possible and I’m always going to be  Jew.  Oy!”
