I don't even have a good shiksa joke for this

So the other night I was watching a documentary called "Heart of Stone" about Newark's Weequahic High School, and they played a clip from a Philip Roth-themed bus tour of Newark. This really happened, and Roth was on it, but apparently it was just a one-off thing (scroll down).

My favorite Roth, THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA, is set in Weequahic. Well, I could still go.
