American Pastoral by Roth, Philip - 1997

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1997. First Edition, First Printing so stated with full number line.. Hardcover. About Fine/Very Good +. 423 p. ; 24 cm. Book Condition: Faint signs of handling else fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Little crinkle to the crown of the spine and small scratch near the tail else fine. Roth's 22nd book, winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize, basis for film directed by Ewan McGregor starring himself, included on Time's list of 100 best novels of all time and generally met with a massive wall of unbridled praise and instantaneous installation into the canon. All despite, or perhaps because of, the book's almost unbearably grim destruction of the book's protaganist and everything good and true he holds dear.
