Annual Bibliography of Philip Roth Criticism and Resources—2016 Mike Witcombe (bio) What follows is a bibliography of Philip Roth-related texts published during 2016, including critical works (books, book chapters, journal essays, and special journal issues). All entries will reflect the format as defined in the eighth edition of the MLA Handbook (2016). All sources are arranged in alphabetical order according to the author's last name. Individual essays included in edited collections are grouped in "Book Chapters" and are cross-listed according to MLA style. Digital book editions, such as those designed for Amazon's Kindle and Barnes and Noble's Nook readers, are not included in this listing. Given the recent growth in e-book technology, digital versions of Roth's texts are becoming standard practice. This being the case, none of these e-book versions are included in this bibliography. Readers and researchers can easily visit online booksellers to find digital editions.

He is currently co-editing an essay collection for the Open Library of the Humanities titled "New Voices in Jewish-American Fiction," and has additional research interests in baseball fiction, videogames, and the history of psychoanalysis.
