Life
[edit]Roth is a graduate of The Dalton School, Columbia University, and began but did not finish a PhD in Comparative Literature from Yale University.[3][4] In 2009, he was awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts,[5] and the Roger Shattuck prize for literary criticism in 2011.[6] He lives in Philadelphia.[7]
He resigned from his masthead position at n+1 in response to the publication of what he called "an unapologetic, celebratory account of the pro-Palestinian rallies on Oct. 8" following the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel.[8]
