About the book
Philip Roth offers an alternate dystopia in which Charles Lindbergh, a charismatic isolationist leader, is elected president of the United States in 1940, paving the way for the rise of American fascism. Narrated from the perspective of a Jewish child in New Jersey, the novel explores the political, social, and personal implications of this alternate reality.
A masterful work about nationalism, fear, ideology, and the fragile balance of democratic institutions, surprisingly prescient for contemporary debates.
