Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Considered by many to be one of Philip Roth's greatest works, American Pastoral chronicles the life of Seymour "the Swede" Levov, the hero of a Jewish neighborhood in Newark whom the narrator idolized in childhood and who still fascinates him. At the beginning of the story, Levov appears to be a one-dimensional personification of bland American decency, but then we learn a few things about him. For instance, his beloved daughter bombed a post office and killed a local doctor in order to protest the Vietnam War. |
