“Funny, this is the Roth book that I didn't want to put down. Essentially I would argue that it's a non-alternate history...if you look closely at the state of our political system.”
“i have been halfway through this book for about a year now. it tooks months for me to even get a quarter of the way through. everyone once in a blue moon, i'll pick it back up, determined to be interested enough to finish it, and it just doesn't happen. i love philip roth, but this just isn't doing it for me. anyone else have this problem with this book? ”
“I listened to Roth on NPR when he talked about this book. I decided to pick it up and I was impressed. Alternative history books are hit and miss for me. but this one was right on the money”
“A great book. Slow but intense. And very jewish. Has Roth finally reconciled himsef to his essential Jewishness?”
