Commentary Concering Books Indignation

Against the backdrop of the Korean War, a young man faces life’s unimagined chances and terrifying consequences. It is 1951 in America, the second year of the Korean War. A studious, law-abiding, intense youngster from Newark, New Jersey, Marcus Messner, is beginning his sophomore year on the pastoral, conservative campus of Ohio’s Winesburg College. And why is he there and not at the local college in Newark where he originally enrolled? Because his father, the sturdy, hard-working neighborhood butcher, seems to have gone mad -- mad with fear and apprehension of the dangers of adult life, the dangers of the world, the dangers he sees in every corner for his beloved boy. As the long-suffering, desperately harassed mother tells her son, the father’s fear arises from love and pride. Perhaps, but it produces too much anger in Marcus for him to endure living with his parents any longer. He leaves them and, far from Newark, in the midwestern college, has to find his way amid the customs and constrictions of another American world. Indignation, Philip Roth’s twenty-ninth book, is a story of inexperience, foolishness, intellectual resistance, sexual discovery, courage, and error. It is a story told with all the inventive energy and wit Roth has at his command, at once a startling departure from the haunted narratives of old age and experience in his recent books and a powerful addition to his investigations of the impact of American history on the life of the vulnerable individual.

Evaluation Of Books Indignation

This is my first Philip Roth book and based on this one it wont be my last. In order to avoid the draft, Marcus must graduate from college and since he is studious, highly intelligent and diligent, this wont be a problem, will it? Thats if he can navigate the distractions provided by room-mates and the opposite sex - not to mention complying with the rules of the conservative Winesburg College. However, Marcus encounter with a female student has unexpected consequences and sets off a chain of

Of a terrible, the incomprehensible way one's most banal, incidental, even comical choices archive the most disproportionate result. Philip Roth, IndignationThere was a period when I hated Roth's small books. I loved his big, strong, hefty books. I thought DeLillo and Roth's novella periods were horrible indulgences; vanity projects meant to expel some small idea, some festering detail yet unexplored in their earlier masterpieces. A prose zit popping. I still think they are a bit indulgent and

A diverting but hollow novel about Marcus, a butchers son encountering various problems in his first term at college. The strongest moments in the book are the touching father/son scenes in the first section, followed closely by the comedic bouts of hauteur exchanged between Marcus and the Dean of the college in the latter part. But please excuse, humble reader, the clanging Kosher butcher/Korean war metaphor, the unconvincing disturbed love interest, the shamblingly overwritten and ludicrous

Philip Roth tells an interesting story. The book is only 200 pages long, but nevertheless it is very complex, multi-faceted, fluid, tensed and it touches the reader deeply. Philip Roth has created a story where the atmosphere and feelings of this time are perfectly written. An exceptionally good book and it is consequently absolutely recommendable."Denn die Schwäche anderer Menschen kann dich ebenso besiegen wie ihre Stärke, Schwache Leute sind nicht harmlos."S. 153

Is that what eternity is for, to muck over a lifetime's minutiae? Who could have imagined that one would have forever to remember each moment of life down to its tiniest component? ~Philip Roth, IndignationYou can be a good person, a respectful citizen, an obedient child, a straight-A student, a faithful lover, and still sometimes your life goes to complete shit. 19 year old Marcus Messner's short but eventful odyssey, layed out in exquisite detail, does just that.Written in first person, I

This is only my fourth Roth novel (though I do believe American Pastoral to be one of the great American novels of the 20th century) so I don't really know how to place it. If Samuel Beckett took Portnoy's Complaint and distilled it into a seething novella of adolescent angst and disconnection (leavened with a heavy dose of Oedipal conflict) it would probably look something like Roth's latest offering. Why Beckett? Well, his view of the afterlife suggests we are condemned to live, over and over,
