Postmodernist Paradoxical Expression and Originality in Philip Roth’s “Deception”

The works of Philip Roth are no doubt outstanding and brilliant examples of denial of traditional and established Judaism. Just like the non-Jewish contemporaries as well as the predecessors, the Jewish writers in the last half of the twentieth century have contributed a great arrangement to the secularization of Jewish and American life. His novels present the enormity of the American Jewish trouble in relation to Israel and Arab conflict over the Promised Land. The works of Roth mark a new current in Jewish American fiction. Deception is an admirable and penetrative work of self-representation. These works exceeds the ordinary levels of living and touches the real meaning of postmodernist paradoxical existence. They also contribute to the postmodernist beliefs of chaotic, disordered relationships and confused requirements of the human self.
