Gibbs (U. College, Cork, Ireland) examines Henry Roth's second novel, a four-part series titled Mercy of a Rude Stream, noting how sixty years of the author's life had passed since the publication of his first novel Call It Sleep. Gibbs explains that the novelist suffered from a profound and unprecedented case of writer's block, turning instead to careers as a metal grinder, a teacher, a hospital orderly and even a farmer. This book offers an updated biography on this important literary figure for students and fans of his work, focusing on the impact, criticism and themes present in both of his novels.
