We met in the early summer of 1983 at the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall, where Roth occasionally takes a room to work in when he’s visiting England.
Just after he finished The Anatomy Lesson we began the Paris Review interview. After our first meeting, he sent me the fourth draft of The Anatomy Lesson, which we later talked about, because, in the final stages of writing a novel, Roth likes to get as much criticism and response as he can from a few interested readers. He read the book and wrote me a generous letter. I met Philip Roth after I had published a short book about his work for the Methuen Contemporary Writers Series.
