Howard Kurtz gives his thoughts on the legendary writer’s retirement.
Now more than ever, the press is a part of every story it covers. And CNN's "Reliable Sources" is one of television's only regular programs to examine how journalists do their jobs and how the media affect the stories they cover. Host Howard Kurtz is the nation's premier media critic, and each week he questions print reporters, television correspondents and Internet bloggers about how the press is covering the major stories of the week.

From the transcript:. KURTZ: I could hardly believe it when Phillip Roth said he is giving up writing. The man has written 31 books since 1959 including such classics such as "Port Noise Complaint, Goodbye Columbus, Zuckerman On Bound, The Ghost Rider, Professor of Desire, Savage Theater and The Human Stain," and I've read most of them.
At least three of the titles are not spelled that way. My favorite is"Port Noise Complaint." Yes, that's what it sounds like, but maybe in the hours after the transcript is first posted, someone could go through it and correct any mistakes like this one..
