Philip Roth ganhou o Prémio Pulitzer com Pastoral Americana em 1997. Em 1998 recebeu a Medalha Nacional de Artes da Casa Branca e, em 2002, o mais alto galardão da Academia Americana de Artes e Letras, a Medalha de Ouro da Ficção, anteriormente atribuída a John dos Passos, William Faulkner e Saul Bellow, entre outros. Ganhou três vezes o PEN/Faulkner Award e o National Book Critics Award. Em 2005 A Conspiração contra a América recebeu o prémio da Sociedade de historiadores Americanos pelo «excecional romance histórico sobre um tema americano, relativo a 2003-2004». Roth recebeu dois dos mais prestigiados prémios do PEN: em 2006, o PEN/Nabokov «pelo conjunto da obra [...] de originalidade constante e artisticamente perfeita» e, em 2007, o PEN/Saul Bellow de Consagração na Ficção Americana, dado ao escritor cujo apuro ao longo de uma carreira sustentada o coloca ao mais alto nível da literatura americana. Roth é o único escritor americano vivo a ter a obra publicada numa edição completa e definitiva pela Library of America. Em 2011 Roth recebeu o Man Booker International Prize. Foi o quarto autor a receber esta distinção.

January 4, 1999
Following the recent release of Roth's vitriolic novel, I Married a Communist (also produced unabridged from Dove, with Ron Silver reading), it's refreshing to hear his most playful early material revisited. The title novel and accompanying stories are read by a list of top-notch performers. The title story, the coming-of-age tale of Newark's Neil Klugman, is read by John Rubinstein. Set in 1950s America, the idealistic college dropout Klugman spends a summer wooing Brenda Patimkin, an affluent Radcliffe girl from the nearby suburb of Short Hills. Their gentle courtship is disrupted by issues of class, religion and sex. The other stories, which include "The Conversion of the Jews" and "You Can't Tell a Man by the Song He Sings," are read by Rubinstein, Jerry Zaks, Harlan Ellison, Elliott Gould and Theodore Bikel. All do a good job of conveying Roth's sardonic humor, which--even in this younger work--has a world-weary, sorrowful weightiness. But the true gift demonstrated here is Roth's amazing deadpan wit, a quality exploited to dramatic ends when read aloud by the adroit veterans employed. -
