American Pastoral by Philip Roth

3.0

American Pastoral was my first venture into the writings of Philip Roth. While there is some gorgeous writing that captures the turbulent 60’s, it was all a bit much. By that I mean overwritten and overindulgent. By the last 20 or so pages, I was skipping paragraphs that had been covered over and over again. That said, I’m glad I finished it, I guess!
