Summary
In an extraordinay feat of narrative invention, Philip Roth imagines an alternate history where Franklin D. Roosevelt loses the 1940 presidential election to heroic aviator and rabid isolationist Charles A. Lindbergh. Shortly thereafter, Lindbergh negotiates a cordialĖ understandingĖ with Adolf Hitler, while the new government embarks on a program of folksy anti-Semitism. For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindberghs 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
