Book Description | An American Tale by Philip Roth... This is Philip Roth's masterpiece, an elegy for the American century's promise of prosperity, civil order, and domestic bliss. Roth's hero is Swede Levov, a legendary athlete at his high school in Newark who grows up in the postwar boom years, marries Miss New Jersey, inherits his father's glove factory, and moves into a stone house in the idyllic village of Old Rimrock. Then, one day in 1968, his American good fortune deserts him. Swede's beloved daughter, Mary, has grown from a loving, sharp-witted girl into an angry, fanatical teenager, a teenager capable of committing a heinous act of political terrorism. Overnight, Swede has been torn from the American dream he cherished and thrown into the vortex of authentic American ferment. It is a book that one finds oneself compelled to read by one's own pity, resentment, and deep empathy for its characters. This book presents us with Philip Roth at the height of his powers. |
