American Pastoral is the storyline of any fortunate American's rise and fall - of a solid, confident master of social equilibrium overwhelmed by the forces of social disorder. Seymour "Swede" Levov - a legendary senior high school athlete, a devoted family man, a hard worker, the prosperous inheritor of his father's Newark glove factory - comes of age in thriving, triumphant postwar America. But everything he loves is lost when the united states begins to perform amok in the turbulent 1960s. Not even the most private, well-intentioned citizen, it seems, reaches sidestep the sweep of history. With vigorous realism, Roth takes us back again to the conflicts and violent transitions of the 1960s. This is a book about loving - and hating - America. It's a book about attempting to belong - and refusing to belong - to America. It sets the desire to have an American pastoral - a good life of space, calm, order, optimism, and achievement - resistant to the indigenous American Berserk.
