...Cinderellas. This summer, Second-Year Coach Don Coryell told his players that they would win ten games-a bold prediction considering that the team lost nine last season. Yet the players believed. Following the example of Coryell, who often works so late that he sleeps on the gold couch in his office, veteran Quarterback Jim Hart has put the bomb back in football, throwing seven touchdown passes of 40 yds. or more. Running Back Terry Metcalf has eluded tacklers for scoring sprints of 94 and 75 yds., and the young Cardinal defense has held opponents to an average...

I walked around, rubbed the couch where I had sat dozens of times and spotted that cookie jar shaped like a pumpkin.

...just another "useful fiction." What he proves in fact is only the complexity of the relation between fiction and life, how they can mutually invade each other's territory and both lose a locked combat. To show that is for Roth to put himself as a novelist on the couch of literary analysis, hoping to show that the novel is not dead or sick, only disturbed in mind. But just to talk about the problems is not enough: Roth should take Spielvogel's advice and "perhaps to begin" again...
