Synopsis:
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century—an elegy for America’s promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss.
Told through novelist Nathan Zuckerman, the story follows Seymour “Swede” Levov, a legendary Newark high school athlete who grows up in the booming postwar years to marry a former Miss New Jersey, inherit his father’s glove factory, and move with his family to a stone house in the idyllic hamlet of Old Rimrock.
In 1968, the Swede’s life collapses when his adored daughter, Merry, transforms from a loving, quick-witted girl into a sullen, fanatical teenager—capable of a shocking act of domestic terrorism. Overnight, he is wrenched out of his longed-for American pastoral and into the nation’s turmoil, as he struggles to understand what happened to his family and to America.
