Torn between his artistic instincts and his political beliefs, he produced only a small portion of his second novel and then sank into decades of painful silence. In 1939 Roth married Muriel Parker, a composer and pianist, a union that would last 51 years until her death in 1990. The couple had two sons, and Roth did what he could to support a family.
