American Pastoral I am late arriving at Philip Roth. I thought Patrimony (about Roth's father and his death) was a masterpiece, equal to Tolstoy in truth. American Pastoral is another Zuckerman-framed novel, with a swirl of Zuckerman's imaginative projections into the life of "Swede," a handsome and successful classmate who went on to marry Miss New Jersey and to take over his father's glove business. Swede's daughter, Merry, however, proves to be an ideological murderer at age 16, and the burden of the speculation--Zuckerman's speculation about the Swede's speculation--is a "thick" imagining of how this is possible, credible, "true." The novel does not accrue by scene or by plot logic so much as by speculation, and there are brilliant mots throughout, probing the beliefs of American dreams and nightmares.
