Philip Roth
Philip Roth: UnmaskedAmerican Masters explores the life and career of Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning novelist Philip Roth, often referred to as the greatest living American writer. Reclusive and diffident, Roth grants very few interviews, but for the first time, allowed a journalist to spend 10 days interviewing him on camera.
The result is Philip Roth: Unmasked, a 90-minute documentary that features Roth freely discussing very intimate aspects of his life and art as he has never done before. The film has its world theatrical premiere March 13-19 for one week only at Film Forum in New York City and premieres nationally Friday, March 29 on PBS (check local listings) in honor of Roth’s 80th birthday.

The program was interesting, but less interesting than I had hoped it would be.
Some of the comments by observers amounted to hagiography.
I'm not sure exactly what I was hoping for.
I did learn some things about the Roth novels I have not read or finished.
