"A richly terrifying historical novel. [Roth is] the greatest fiction writer America has ever produced." - Esquire "Never has [Roth's voice] been more nuanced . beautifully particularized. [A] novelist who for 45 years has been continuously reinventing himself, never more notably than in The Plot Against America." - Boston Globe "Ingenious . Roth's gorgeous and forceful prose, which swirls and dances and rages . has never seemed more precise and lucid.
" - Star-Telegram (Dallas/Fort Worth) "Raises the stakes as high as a patriotic novel can take them. Effortlessly, it seems, Roth has led us to suspend disbelief; then he makes us believe; then he suspends this belief and finally removes it. A fabulous yarn." - Los Angeles Book Review "A remarkable act of historical imagination and one of [Roth's] most moving novels." - People "Roth takes readers on a harrowing safari across interdimensional borders into a bizarre version of his hometown. [His] delivery is so matter-of-fact, so documentary deadpan that when we're 10 pages into the book our own world starts to seem like a flimsy fantasy." - Time "The writing is extraordinary, complex but highly readable, evocative, and colored with a tenderness and affection. This is one of Roth's finest books.
" - O, the Oprah Magazine "Huge, inflammatory, painfully moving. Far and away the most outward-looking, expansive . book Roth has written." - Washington Post Book World "A terrific political novel. Sinister, vivid, dreamlike . creepily plausible. You turn the pages, astonished and frightened." - New York Times Book Review "Roth's most powerful book to date.
Confounding and illuminating, enraging and discomfiting, imaginative and utterly-terrifyingly-believable." - San Francisco Chronicle "Once again, Philip Roth has published a novel that you must read-now. A stunning work." - Christian Science Monitor "It's not a prophecy; it's a nightmare, and it becomes more nightmarish-and also funnier and more bizarre-as is goes along. [A] sinuous and brilliant book, with its extreme sweetness, its black pain, and its low, ceaseless cackle." - New Yorker "Ambitious and chilling . a breath-taking leap of imagination. The writing is brilliant.
" - USA Today "The most compelling of living writers. [His] every book is like a dispatch from the deepest recesses of the national mind." - New York magazine.
