Finished Tu 10/27/15
Loved it from page one....FIVE STARS... Great saga of a family and a really innovative storyline. You don't even know what the novel is really about until about forty pages in.
Daughter and father relationship against the backdrop of the turbulent sixties.
Rather a depressing ending. Does Roth feel that all is doomed? No real option to prevent the deterioration of all things.
There is a movie in the works (Begun Sept. 2015)
Page 402 uses the words 'American Pastoral'. A reference to Thanksgiving, a day in which all differences, religious and otherwise, are to be put aside.
