charity_royall_331 's review for:
American Pastoral
by Philip Roth
The first 3/4 of this was spellbinding. The end sort of petered out for me, but such is the power of the book's structure that when I reviewed the final part of it in my mind, I realized how it actually amplified all of the doubling throughout the rest of the book. Layers upon layers of meaning to consider.
See also: John Updike's "Rabbit Redux" for another (goyische) view of the High School Golden Boy's Later Tsuris. I looked at contemporary reviews of "American Pastoral," and was amazed no one mentioned the similarities between the two novels by mid-century American masters.
