'He captures better than anyone the collision of public and private, the intrusion of history into the skin, the pores of every individual alive' Guardian. 'Though on the morning after the election disbelief prevailed, especially among the pollsters, by the next everybody seemed to understand everything.'. When celebrity aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh, wins the 1940 presidential election on the slogan of 'America First', fear invades every Jewish household. Not only has Lindbergh blamed the Jews for pushing America towards war with Germany, he has negotiated an 'understanding' with the Nazis promising peace between the two nations. Growing up in the 'ghetto' of Newark, Philip Roth recounts his childhood caught in the stranglehold of this counterfactual nightmare. As America sinks into its own dark metamorphosis and Jewish families are torn apart, fear and uncertainty spread. Who really is President Lindbergh? And to what end has he hijacked America? Many passages in The Plot Against America echo feelings voiced today by vulnerable Americans - immigrants and minorities as alarmed by Trump's election as the Jews of Newark are frightened by Lindbergh's' New Yorker. - Philip Milton Roth [????] (geboren am 19. März 1933 in Newark, New Jersey; gestorben am 22. Mai 2018 in New York City) war ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Seine Romane, Erzählungen und Essays wurden vielfach ausgezeichnet und brachten ihm den Ruf eines bedeutenden Romanciers der Gegenwart ein, der in der Öffentlichkeit viele Jahre als Kandidat für den Nobelpreis für Literatur gehandelt wurde. Roths Werke sind häufig autobiografisch geprägt. Seine Romanfiguren teilen seine Herkunft aus einer jüdischen Familie der unteren Mittelschicht, seine Geburtsstadt Newark, die späteren Wohnsitze New York und eine Farm in Connecticut sowie die Erfahrungen seiner beiden Ehen. Nachdem bereits Roths Erstling Goodbye, Columbus im Jahr 1959 positive Resonanz bei der Kritik gefunden hatte, wurde sein Roman Portnoy's Complaint zehn Jahre später zu einem Skandalerfolg. Ab den 1970er Jahren begleitete die Figur Nathan Zuckerman sein Werk durch zwei Trilogien und mehrere Einzelromane. Im Oktober 2012 zog er sich vom Schreiben zurück. Leben: Roth stammt aus einer jüdischen Familie. Seine Großeltern, die aus Osteuropa emigrierten, sprachen Jiddisch. Roth selbst besuchte die jüdische Weequahic High School und studierte 1950-51 an der Rutgers University. 1954 erwarb er an der Bucknell University in Lewisburg/Pennsylvania den Bachelor of Arts in Englisch, graduierte ein Jahr darauf in Chicago zum Master of Arts und erhielt die Lehrerlaubnis. 1955-56 diente er in der Armee, anschließend war er von 1956-58 Dozent für Englische Literatur an der University von Chicago. 1959/60 war er Guggenheim-Stipendiat, danach lehrte er bis 1962 an der University of Iowa Creative Writing. Als Writer-in-residence" verbrachte er die Jahre 1962 bis 1980 erst in Princeton, dann an der University of Pennsylvania. Ab 1989 nahm Roth eine Dozententätigkeit für Creative Writing am Hunter College in New York wahr. Roths Ehe mit Margaret Martinson hielt von 195963; 1968 starb Martinson bei einem Autounfall. (Biographische Details aus dieser von Anfang an unglücklichen Ehe flossen später in den Roman Mein Leben als Mann ein.) Von 1975 an lebte er mit Claire Bloom, einer britischen Schauspielerin, die vor allem durch ihre Rolle in Charlie Chaplin's Limelight bekannt wurde. 1990 heirateten Roth und Bloom, 1994 wurde diese Ehe geschieden. Werke: Seit Ende der 1950er Jahre ist Roth schriftstellerisch tätig und publizierte mit großem Erfolg Romane, Erzählungen und Essays. Sowohl sein jüdischer Familienhintergrund als auch seine Eheerfahrungen fließen in seine Werke ein, ohne dass Roth ein spezifisch jüdischer Autor wäre. Sein Thema ist die gesamte amerikanische Gesellschaft. So ist Mein Mann, der Kommunist eine literarische Antwort auf ein autobiographisches Buch, das Claire Bloom nach der Scheidung publizierte (Leaving a Doll's House), zugleich eine fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit dem Hang der USA zur Diskriminierung Andersdenkender, wozu er auch die Behandlung der Kommunisten in der McCarthy-Ära zählt. . . .
