American Pastoral
Seymour Levov, a Newark glove manufacturer, schoolboy athletic god and husband of a former Miss New Jersey, has done everything his country asked of him when his sixteen-year-old daughter plants a bomb in the village post office to protest the war in Vietnam. Zuckerman, at his own school reunion, sets out to reconstruct a life he barely knew. The Pulitzer winner, and the first of Roth's American trilogy.
