American Pastoral by Philip Roth
4.0

The story of the rise and fall of a small-town American hero and his extreme self-examination to unravel the "why" of his daughter's self-destructive radicalism. From the post-WWII age of innocence to the chaos of the Vietnam War era, American Pastoral examines the desire and loathing of the "American Dream" and the many ways we defy convention.
