Marcus Messner  begins his sophomore year on the pastoral  conservative campus of Ohio's

enrolled? Because his father  the sturdy  hardworking 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. Far from Newark  Marcus has to find his
way amid the customs and constrictions of another American world. Indignation  Philip Roth's

experience in Roth's recent books and a powerful exploration of a remarkable moment in American
history.
