What other form does Roth use as narration in his works?

  • Talking animals

  • Inanimate objects

  • Fictionalized Philip Roth

  • Alien creatures

Answer

As well as using the first person, Roth also uses a fictionalized version of himself as the narrator in many of his novels. This allows him to explore his own experiences and feelings in a more objective way, and to comment on the world around him without being limited by his own personal perspective.
