...characters like Kepesh: enough, already, of Jewish intellectual sex maniacs. Such criticism is self-incriminating, a tribute to Roth's wicked skill at probing nerves and making people who think they know better say silly things.

Lloyd's of London once presented a medal to a Newf who swam ashore with a line from a vessel foundering on the Nova Scotia coast, helping rescuers haul passengers and crew to safety. Newfoundlands are still used as lifeguards on beaches in France. Their fitness for such work was proved on no less a near drowning victim than Napoleon...
