Washington Post compares novelist Jay Neugeboren to Philip Roth
Jay Neugeboren’s 19th novel, “The Other Side of the World” (Two Dollar Radio Press, December 2012) just got a great review in The Washington Post. Reviewer Mark Athitakis writes, “that the linguistic precision, wry humor and libidinal neurosis contained in [Neugeboren’s] fine new novel put[s] him in good company with the recently retired master.” That master? None other than Philip Roth! Athitakis continues to write that “The Other Side of the World” can charm you with its grace, intelligence and scope.” Read the full review: http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/the-other-side-of-the-world-by-jay-neugeboren/2013/01/04/6afb76ea-49ec-11e2-b6f0-e851e741d196_story.html
