Foster's last novel, Maurice, based, in part, on his life-long gay love affair, was only published in the 1970s, after his death.

Doubt that's Roth's reason for retiring, but oddly enough I haven't read much of his work since the 1970s.

I suppose I should celebrate him being a serious novelist. There doesn't seem to be many of those anymore.
