Winner of the Pulitzer Prize Here is Philip Roth's masterpiece-an elegy for the American century's promises of prosperity civic order and domestic bliss. Roth's 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 father's glove factory and move into a stone house in the idyllic hamlet of Old Rimrock. And then one day in 1968 Swede's beautiful American luck deserts him. For Swede's 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 longed-for American pastoral and into the indigenous American berserk. Compulsively readable propelled by sorrow rage and a deep compassion for its characters American Pastoral gives us Philip Roth at the height of his powers.
