> The Plot Against America, by Philip Roth (September 30, 2004)
It can be easy to forget that The Plot Against America, which today reads as a parable for Trump’s America, was widely received as an allegory for W.’s — an interpretation that Roth encouraged by insisting the opposite. The novel begins in a buzz of fear and the pitch increases steadily, unbearably. But it’s Roth’s doomed hero, Walter Winchell, whose speeches have the uncanny urgency of prophecy: “How long will Americans remain asleep while their cherished Constitution is torn to shreds by the fascist fifth column of the Republican right marching under the sign of the cross and the flag?”

What if aviator Charles Lindbergh, who once called Hitler “a great man”, had won the US presidency in a landslide victory and signed a treaty with Nazi Germany? Paranoid yet plausible, Roth’s alternative-world novel is only more relevant in the age of Trump.

Not really. Roth writes HBO’s The Newsroom and The Daily Show tier schlock for progressive pseudo-intellectuals. Is Bill Maher /ourguy/? No? Then neither is Roth.

I will say this for Roth he was red pilled on ‘til death do us part’
He was a firm believer in trading in middle aged old bags for younger cunny

I mean every book is a self insert of a guy addicted to having sex

I love Roth btw

He was certainly the most decorated but he has little staying power. Largely because of things he chose to write about.

This guy writes books for burgers, nobody outside burgerland cares lol. Meanwhile people like DFW and Pynchon will be remembered forever
