Depressed, out-of-work, out-of-confidence political lawyer E. Everton is walking in a restricted, forested area in Virginia when he encounters three objects he can only describe as "moving statues." In an overpowering, almost comically loud voice, they begin telling him preposterous things: That within a few years most of humanity will be dead; that they would like to offer everyone a dying wish; that he should "tell others". Though they prove that, in an odd way, they can grant wishes, they are not remotely interested in explaining who they are, what their motive is, how they operate, or how mankind is supposed to perish. As E. reluctantly takes on the task of "spreading the word", he is unwillingly drawn into the halls of power, tapped by the forces of would-be revolution, and enmeshed in an impossible romance. As E.'s journey progresses, thousands of lives begin to change, and even the ancient concepts of death and salvation take a strange, twisted turn.

The interviews, essays, and articles collected in Reading Myself and Others span a quarter century of Philip Roth's distinguished career and "reveal [a] preoccupation with the relationship between the written and the unwritten world." Here is Roth on himself and his work and the controversies it has engendered. Here too are Roth's writings on the Eastern European writers he has always championed; and on baseball, American fiction, and American Jews.
