What Would Philip Roth Do? A Memoir
First published 2025
Welcome to the brain of Matt Check. Here you'll find thoughts of bluegrass music, unrequited love, modern-day Nazis and uncircumcised penises. "Ugh, smegma," as he likes to say. Matt's goal? To make a life for himself in New York City, land the perfect banjo lick, and find love along the way. Bonus points if he can succeed in making his father proud. A memoir about a Jewish banjo player's search for the perfect woman and his imagined conversations with author Philip Roth. Smart, poignant, and extremely funny, this groundbreaking book will leave you laughing and guessing till the very last page.
