NATIONAL BESTSELLER In 1951, the second year of the Korean
War, a studious, law-abiding, and intense youngster from Newark,
New Jersey, Marcus Messner, begins his sophomore year on the
pastoral, conservative campus of Ohio''s Winesburg College. And why
is he there and not at a local college in Newark where he
originally 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
twenty-ninth book, is a startling departure from the haunted
narratives of old age and experience in Roth''s recent books and a
powerful exploration of a remarkable moment in American
history.
