CBS conducted an interview with Philip Roth on the publication of his new novel, Nemesis.

One of the questions posed to the author the The Great American Novel:

“When you lived here, and you were growing up,” asked Braver, “did you want to be famous? Did you want to be somebody whose name everybody knew?”

“Yeah, I wanted to be a famous baseball player!” he laughed.
