Here We Are: My Friendship with Philip Roth
by Benjamin Taylor
“Benjamin Taylor and Philip Roth lived for a time in friendship — that rare, true element. Like that friendship, this account is unsparing, yet loyal and kind. It is also funny. Here We Are made me laugh until its last pages. I was in tears when I closed the book. I had to read it over again, immediately. I’m grateful to have it.”
—Louise Erdrich
“Forget the work of Boswell’s Johnson, I have never read a more touching portrait of literary friendship. Smart, moving, wise—Taylor’s page-turning book sets a new standard for both memoir and literary biography.”
—Mary Karr, author of The Liars Club
