Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist. He gained early literary fame with the 1959 collection Goodbye, Columbus (winner of 1960's National Book Award), cemented it with his 1969 bestseller Portnoy's Complaint, and has continued to write critically-acclaimed works, many of which feature his fictional alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman. The Zuckerman novels began with The Ghost Writer in 1979, and include American Pastoral (1997) (winner of the Pulitzer Prize). In May 2011, he won the Man Booker International Prize for lifetime achievement in fiction.

In an astonishing feat of empathy and narrative invention, our most ambitious novelist imagines an alternate version of American history.
In 1940 Charles A. Lindbergh, heroic aviator and rabid isolationist, is elected President. Shortly thereafter, he negotiates a cordial “understanding” with Adolf Hitler, while the new government embarks on a program of folksy anti-Semitism.
For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindbergh’s election is the first in a series of ruptures that threaten to destroy his small, safe corner of America–and with it, his mother, his father, and his older brother.
Roth构建的世界非常真实 当人们的眼光不够远时 他们确实会盲目地选择眼前的利益(甚至不是利益只是安宁)这让我也在反思自己。我觉得不足的是 小男主太不像个6岁的孩子了 可能是因为书写的是成年后的回忆吧 但是界限很模糊 很多时候分不清楚某个想法是小Philip当时就有的还是回忆时意识到的。结尾也略仓促了。而且还有个问题就是 按书里的设定来讲 日本为什么还要轰炸珍珠港呢?我历史和政治都很差 这一点没想明白。
评分Nicely written.
评分叙事颠来倒去可以算作后现代吗 很喜欢Roth细腻周密精确浑厚的语言 一个懂政治的作家难免要把政治带入文学革新文学 那文学是同时也介入政治了还是被政治忽略了呢
评分A fiction that almost hit the truth, had not CNN's report on Russian involvement during U.S. presidential election turned out to be fake.
