To the Editor:
I have been a reader of the Book Review for more than 50 years, but I have never written in. Cynthia Ozick’s review of “Philip Roth: The Biography” (April 11) changed my mind. Simply put: This is the single best written book review I have ever read in my entire life.

The great navigator desperately needed a safe harbor to repair the Golden Hind and found one at present-day Point Reyes National Seashore.
The area was well inhabited by the Miwok people who came to visit singing, crying, falling on their knees. The English assumed they were being worshiped as gods, but what the Miwok believed was that these were their own dead returning for an unknowable purpose from the offshore region where they were supposed to spend eternity. ....
