Have any of you read this book? What are your thoughts on it? To me it just feels like a jew being butthurt at white people for hundreds of pages.

Interesting example of Jewish hysteria
>sure, the United States didn't, technically do the Holocaust
>BUT THEY COULD'VE!!!!
as a novel, eh, Roth is a perfectly good writer but just read Portnoy's Complaint and The Human Stain and don't waste any more time.

I’d say the majority of this board is white people from working class backgrounds with 115-130 IQs and ESLs from places like Pakistan and Eastern Europe.

It’s low-tier Roth.

Read American Pastoral or the Human Stain.

Reading American Pastoral. Are we meant to feel sorry for Merry in anyway? She's been nothing but a huge cunt to everyone the entire book.

>Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America is the novel that a neoconservative would write, if a neoconservative could write a novel.

>The Plot Against America is the sort of novel a bootlicking author might write to curry favor with a totalitarian government. The author puts a fictive gloss over the officially sanctioned history. Thank God things happened as they did! The alternative to the regime was madness, chaos, murder. Dissenters must be demonized, so Roth saddles his America First villains with positions exactly opposite those they actually took.

>This is a repellent novel, bigoted and libelous of the dead, dripping with hatred of rural America, of Catholics, of any Middle American who has ever dared stand against the war machine. All that is left, I suppose, is for the author to collect his Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Pretty brutal review.

I think the real question we're all asking is is Amy Anne Frank and did Confederates save her?

we are given a never ending stream of moralizing and warnings from (((Roth))) and his ilk about the Lindberghs of this world.
but for some reason we're never allowed to hear what the Lindberghs and Henry Fords have to say about the threat to America posed by the (((Roths))).
