Philip Roth (despite retirement) will appear on 'The Colbert Report'
Perhaps legendary author Philip Roth isn鈥檛 quite done with public appearances.
Roth announced in 2012 that he was finished with writing and, earlier this month, told a reporter that his reading in Manhattan was 鈥渁bsolutely the last appearance I will make on any public stage, anywhere,鈥� according to the .
Possibly the author isn鈥檛 counting a TV show as a public stage, but Roth will reportedly be appearing on 鈥淭he Colbert Report鈥� as part of Stephen Colbert鈥檚 ongoing book club (known as 鈥渃Olbert鈥檚 Book Club in what the host said is a reference to the group headed by Oprah Winfrey). Colbert has previously tackled the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and J.D. Salinger via the club and Roth is set to appear sometime in July.
Roth has said that his 2010 novel 鈥淣emesis鈥� will be his last book.聽
