Roth, Philip (Author/Subject); Karel, William & Manera, Livia (Film Directors) : Philip Roth Unmasked: The Film Documentary

PBS Broadcasting Network, New York City, NY, 2012

First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 1 pages. Rare Philip Roth collectible item. A pristine copy of "Philip Roth: Unmasked" DVD, signed by Philip Roth. The first and only edition. Printed in a small and limited run by PBS Broadcasting as a DVD only. There is no ISBN. Presents "Philip Roth: Unmasked". The single best documentary thus far on the still-controversial figure that PBS regards as the greatest American writer of our time. In 2012, Philip Roth famously announced that he was retiring, sending shudders of disbelief through the literary world. He has kept his word, has not published another word. Drawing on conversations with Roth and others, this documentary offers a dazzling chronicle that traces crucial moments in the author's life and career. "Explores the life of Philip Roth, the greatest American writer of our time. Features candid interviews with Roth, who fulfills his promise to directors William Karel and Livia Manera to unmask himself, freely discussing very intimate aspects of his life and art as he has never done before" (PBS). Individually, every Philip Roth book is engrossing. Taken as a whole, his body of work is unsurpassable. Philip Roth died on May 22, 2018 of congestive heart failure, literally of heartbreak, at the age of 85. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Philip Roth collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in metallic-silver pen-marker on the Digital Video Disc (DVD) by Philip Roth. It is signed directly on the disc itself, not on a tipped-in page. This DVD is a film documentary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. Six of Philip Roth's novels were selected as among the Top 20 works of American fiction of the last 25 years: "American Pastoral", "The Counterlife", "Operation Shylock", "Sabbath's Theater", "The Human Stain", and "The Plot Against America". One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PHILIP ROTH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
