lizzird 's review for:
American Pastoral
by Philip Roth, Philip Roth
One of my all-time favorites. Roth manages to address a lot of my concerns regarding modern American society without answering a single one of my questions. The story of Swede Levov, who was the star athlete of his high school, went into the family business, married a former Miss New Jersey, and wanted only to be good and honest, is both poignant and unsettling. It's the story of what happens when doing all the right things brings about all the wrong results, what happens when we can't see our way out of the mazes we've built for ourselves, and what happens when finding the American Dream just isn't enough anymore.
