Henry Roth’s An American Type

The late author, who wrote the Lower East Side bildungsroman Call It Sleep, published in 1934, left behind nearly 2,000 pages of another novel, which have been whittled down into a just-published work called An American Type. Discussing the novel at this event will be Willing Davidson, the book’s editor and fiction editor at The New Yorker; Robert Weil, executive editor at Norton Fiction; and others.
