Abstract
Bernard Malamud was not always well-served by fellow Jewish writer Philip Roth whom he had counted as a trustworthy friend. According to Malamud's family members, Roth, with whom Malamud had had an extended association from the 1960s to 1986 when the latter died, betrayed their personal and creative relationship by his insensitive portrait of his former friend in a New York Times "eulogy" dated April 20, 1986. However, anyone familiar with Roth's 1979 novel, The Ghost Writer, could have predicted Roth's obituary.
