  <about><![CDATA[Philip Milton Roth is an American novelist. He gained early literary fame with the 1959 collection &lt;i&gt;Goodbye, Columbus&lt;/i&gt; (winner of 1960's National Book Award), cemented it with his 1969 bestseller &lt;i&gt;Portnoy's Complaint&lt;/i&gt;, and has continued to write critically-acclaimed works, many of which feature his fictional alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman. The Zuckerman novels began with &lt;i&gt;The Ghost Writer&lt;/i&gt; in 1979, and include the Pulitzer Prize-winning &lt;i&gt;American Pastoral&lt;/i&gt; (1997).]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Newark, New Jersey</hometown>  <born_at>03/19/1933</born_at>
