About the Author
In 1994 Henry Roth broke his sixty-year literary silence following his classic novel CALL IT SLEEP, with the publication of volume one of MERCY OF A RUDE STREAM, called A STAR SHINES OVER MT. MORRIS PARK. This four-volume series was hailed as 'unsurpassable' in the annals of twentieth-century American literature. Henry Roth died aged 89 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in October 1995.
Review
Mr. Roth's innovative use of language is both beautiful and highly realistic ... Although there is no style called Rothian, there should be * New York Times Book Review * Roth creates his own Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man--a marvelously poetic chronicle * Chicago Sun-Times * 'A masterpiece is ... It is not remotely like anything else in American literature.... It is this pitiless examination of a writer grappling with his demons, at the highest reaches of his intellectual capacity, that gives Mercy of a Rude Stream its ferocious passion.... It is the exhilaration felt by a man who has cast off six decades of self-repression and finally feels himself free' * The New York Review of Books * The literary comeback of the century * Vanity Fair * Henry Roth has only two peers in American-English Jewish fiction, Nathanael West and Philip Roth * Harold Bloom * The Ur-novel at the heart of American literature - Mercy of a Rude Stream is a towering achievement -- Junot Diaz
