Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist. He gained early literary fame with the 1959 collection Goodbye, Columbus (winner of 1960's National Book Award), cemented it with his 1969 bestseller Portnoy's Complaint, and has continued to write critically-acclaimed works, many of which feature his fictional alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman. The Zuckerman novels began with The Ghost Writer in 1979, and include American Pastoral (1997) (winner of the Pulitzer Prize). In May 2011, he won the Man Booker International Prize for lifetime achievement in fiction.
In an astonishing feat of empathy and narrative invention, our most ambitious novelist imagines an alternate version of American history.
In 1940 Charles A. Lindbergh, heroic aviator and rabid isolationist, is elected President. Shortly thereafter, he negotiates a cordial “understanding” with Adolf Hitler, while the new government embarks on a program of folksy anti-Semitism.
For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindbergh’s 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.

Roth構建的世界非常真實 當人們的眼光不夠遠時 他們確實會盲目地選擇眼前的利益(甚至不是利益隻是安寜)這讓我也在反思自己。我覺得不足的是 小男主太不像個6歲的孩子瞭 可能是因為書寫的是成年後的迴憶吧 但是界限很模糊 很多時候分不清楚某個想法是小Philip當時就有的還是迴憶時意識到的。結尾也略倉促瞭。而且還有個問題就是 按書裏的設定來講 日本為什麼還要轟炸珍珠港呢?我曆史和政治都很差 這一點沒想明白。
评分Alternative history:某明星飛行員以“america first”的口號從FDR手裏贏瞭1940年總統大選,成為美國總統,此人與德國納粹關係不錯,他憑一己之力在美國國內掀起瞭反猶浪潮。【此書寫於2004年】(現在記者紛紛采訪作者對Trump當選前後發展與這本小說各處驚人相似有何感想。)
评分Nicely written.
