Summary
This chapter will provide an overview of Roth’s presence outside America, addressing the transatlantic nature of his work, as well as barriers or difficulties pertaining to its translation. Roth’s work has found life and meaning around the globe, having been translated into many languages and inspiring international symposiums, and in recent years, Roth has seen his popularity increase in France.Overall, Roth has welcomed the international attention paid to his work, although when accepting Man Booker International Prize for 2011, he claimed he was delighted that it might increase the availability of his books, “despite all the heartaches of translation that that entails.”
