Title:
American Pastoral Author: Philip Roth Price: “In his 22nd book, returning again to the voice of his literary alter ego Nathan Zuckerman, Roth is at the top of his form. As the book opens, Zuckerman recalls an innocent time when golden boy Seymour "the Swede" Levov was the pride of his Jewish neighborhood. A devoted family man, and a hard worker, he is the prosperous inheritor of his father's Newark glove factory. He comes of age in thriving, triumphant postwar America, but his world turns upside down in the turbulent 1960s. This is a book about loving - and hating America, about wanting to belong - and refusing to belong - to America. It sets the desire for an American pastoral - a respectable life of space, calm, order, optimism, and achievement - against the indigenous American berserk. Roth’s mastery of language and deep understanding of the subject resonates and imbibes the book with rare power. It won the 1998 Pulitzer Prize.” Order Now | ||
