Roth’s anthology appearances span four decades and reflect his standing as a central figure in postwar American literature. He appears in collections of Jewish-American fiction, anthologies of American short fiction, and various retrospective collections that positioned him alongside writers like Saul Bellow, John Updike, and Bernard Malamud.

These appearances are mostly of interest to readers tracing the literary history of the period rather than looking for new Roth fiction.
