Goodbye, Philip Roth

About this ebook
Goodbye, Philip Roth is a strange novella that challenges the reader and won't let up: What is going on? Who is this "Martin Smith" (a fictional character easily confused with the author) who is so obsessed with how America's great author, Philip Roth, is slowly and so very cleverly humiliating him, destroying his career? Is the narrator completely mad, or is there a basis for his paranoia?
Martin Smith
Martin Smith is an Australian author-a humorist, of sorts-of short fiction. He lives and writes in a beach house at the tip of the Bellarine Peninsula. When he is not banging away on his keyboard with thumbs and index fingers or reading snippets of his scribblings to his beloved Rose, you'll more likely than not find him walking the beach barefoot at low tide or downing a double scoop of Rocky Road at the local ice-creamery. At the time of publication of this volume of collected stories of humour, he was midway through writing a fourth book of stories of humour, The Bear Essentials.
