American Pastoral
by Philip Roth, Philip Roth
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER: 1998
===
2.5 rounded up
I got this on audiobook from my library, and I thought the narrator did a really great job. Unfortunately, the book just didn't really resonate with me.
The concept was interesting enough, as were, I suppose, the characters, but like the last Pulitzer Prize winner I read, this book felt WAY too damn long. So many details that didn't really feel necessary, a lot of the Swede angsting over the exact same thing in pretty much the exact same way. I had to kind of force myself to listen to this one because it just felt like it dragged on and on and on without anything all that different or new really happening.
