Philip Roth – Jadi Campbell

MAYDAY is an online cultural magazine produced by New American Press and I am very proud that they accepted my piece for their Culture column!

The Ghastly Ghost Writer is my takedown of Philip Roth, who tried his hardest to erase Anne Frank…. When I happened to stumble over his book I was appalled and disgusted. A year later I was still disgusted, enough so that I wrote about it.

MAYDAY agreed with me. I hope you will, too. Follow this link to read my essay in MAYDAY Magazine: MAYDAY Magazine: Culture
