The Plot Against America |
|
Narrated by Ron Silver |
A Novel by Philip Roth |
The Plot Against America imagines "an alternate American history told through the eyes of a working-class Jewish family in Newark, New Jersey, as they watch the political rise of [an] isolationist and populist, Charles Lindbergh, who becomes president and turns the nation toward fascism." "It is easier to comprehend the election of an imaginary President like Charles Lindbergh than an actual President like Donald Trump. Lindbergh, despite his Nazi sympathies and racist proclivities, was a great aviation hero ... Trump is just a con artist." - Philip Roth: New Yorker Magazine, January 30, 2017 Philip Roth's writings include the novella "Goodbye Columbus" which is also posted on this website. |
