Here is the remarkable Philip Roth, a lament for the promises of the American century of prosperity, civil order, and domestic happiness. Roth's hero is "the Swedish Levov" who was a legendary athlete in his high school in Newark, then grew up during the economic boom after the war, married Miss New Jersey, and inherited the glove factory established by his father, and moved to live in a stone house in the poetic village of Old Rymrock. Afterwards, one day in 1968, his beautiful American luck abandoned him. The beloved Swedish daughter's name is Mary, who transformed from a sharp-minded loving girl into an angry, fanatic teenager, capable of committing a heinous act of political terrorism. Suddenly, the Swedish was torn from the American dream that fascinated him and thrown into the heat of genuine American frenzy. A book that makes one feel compelled to read it out of regret for its characters, anger towards them, and deep sympathy for them. This book is presented to us by Philip Roth at the height of his power.
