Novelist Philip Roth is still going strong, with last year’s “Everyman” and 2005’s “The Plot Against America” hitting many best-of lists. The Classic Book and Movie Club is offering an opportunity to revisit one of his classics, “Goodbye, Columbus,” both on the page and on the screen.

At 1:30 p.m. Sunday, there will be a free showing of the 1969 adaptation of the film, starring Richard Benjamin and Ali MacGraw, at the Wisconsin Historical Society headquarters, 816 State St. After the film, UW English professor Thomas Schaub will talk about the book and the film.
