WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE
A Los Angeles Times Best Fiction Book of the Last 30 Years
“An incandescent fiction…. American Pastoral scintillates with more Rothian wit, paradox, eloquent tantrums and absurd pratfalls placed at the exit of each irresistible argument that can be counted…. He strikes a vivid blaze.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
The first book in the brilliant American Trilogy of postwar set novels, American Pastoral dissects the American dream during the social upheaval of the 1960s and is widely considered to be one Philip Roth’s masterpieces.
Seymour "Swede" Levov—a legendary high school athlete, a devoted family man, a hard worker, the prosperous inheritor of his father's Newark glove factory—comes of age in thriving, triumphant postwar America. But everything he loves is lost when the country begins to run amok, including his beloved daughter Merry, who commits an outlandish act of political terrorism. Not even the most private, well-intentioned citizen, it seems, gets to sidestep the sweep of history.
With vigorous realism, Roth takes us back to the conflicts and violent transitions of the 1960s. It's a book 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 American Berserk.
