The study summarizes the first two Philip Roth’s books and their critical reception. Roth’s works are set in the context of the American society and literature of the late nineteen fiftieth and in the connection with Roth’s essay „Writing American Fiction“. Reading of Goodbye, Columbus as a story of Jew assimilation is refused; the crucial plot is the love story between Neil and Brenda. Both Roth’s books are interpreted through the well-known Roth’s interest in Henry James: the fundament for both books is Roth’s concern in his protagonists and their temperament and every action is subordinated to the portrayals of characters.

The present study deals with the interpretation of Philip Roth’s most experimental novel The Counterlife, considered by many critics as the best text of Roth’s postmodern period. The novel is an exploration of various attempts to start a new — different life, and each of its five chapters presents a new way, thus denying the preceding chapter. There are several key themes in the novel: the exploration and defence of the writer’s own poetics, and, above all, reflections on Jewish identity, its roots, and by what it is formed.
