American Pastoral
by Philip Roth
Review this book!
Nathan Zuckerman, now in his early 60s, agrees to write a tribute to the dead father of an old friend and, in researching the man's life, becomes intrigued with the mystery of why someone who seemed to have been blessed in every way--with a happy marriage, successful business, good health--turned into such an intensely bitter and unhappy man during the 1960s. The novel serves as Roth's assessment of the domestic casualties of the Vietnam War.

Media Reviews
"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."
