Abstract:
On the doctrinal anti-asceticism in Roth's works, which are accompanied by the aesthetic. For instance, when he declares that it is not our high purposes but our humble needs (e.g. half a lemon or half an egg) and cravings that make us moving creatures (in "The Ghost Writer). Elaborates on this theme in other works by Roth.
