WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE"Dazzling...a wrenching, compassionate, intelligent novel...gorgeous." --Boston Globe"As the American century draws to an uneasy close, Philip Roth gives us a novel of unqualified greatness that is an elegy for all our centurys promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss. Roths protagonist is Swede Levov, a legendary athlete at his Newark high school, who grows up in the booming postwar years to marry a former Miss New Jersey, inherit his fathers glove factory, and move into a stone house in the idyllic hamlet of Old Rimrock. And then one day in 1968, Swedes beautiful American luck deserts him.For Swedes adored daughter, Merry, has grown from a loving, quick-witted girl into a sullen, fanatical teenager--a teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism. And overnight Swede is wrenched out of the longer-for American pastoral and into the indigenous American berserk. Compulsively readable, propelled by sorrow, rage, and a deep compassion for its characters, this is Roth's masterpiece.
Review:
"One of Roth's most powerful novels ever, a big, rough-hewn work built on a grand design, a book that is as moving, generous, and ambitious as his last novel, 'Sabbath's Theatre', was sour, solipsistic, and narrow."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 04/15/1997
Review:"The mixture of rage and elegy in the book is remarkable, and you have only to pause over the prose to feel how beautifully it is elaborated, to see that Mr. Roth didn't entirely abandon Henry James after all."
Michael Wood, New York Times Book Review, 04/20/1997
