Gestern Abend habe ich den Mailer ausgelesen, und leider konnte er nicht halten, was die ersten Seiten versprochen haben. Deshalb habe ich mir für heute Abend etwas ausgesucht, das mir bestimmt gefällt, gehört Philip Roth doch schon seit Jahren zu meinen persönlichen Lieblingen.
Damit werde ich nach dem Abendessen beginnen:
Philip ROTH
Indignation
Indignation
Product Decription: It is 1951, the second year of the Korean War. A studious, law-abiding, intense youngster from Newark, Marcus Messner is beginning his sophomore year on the pastoral, conservative campus of Ohio's Winesburg College. An why is he there and not at a local college in Newark where he originally enrolled? Because his father, the sturdy, hardworking neighbourhood 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. So Marcus leaves and, far from home, has to find his way amid the customs and constrictions of another American World.
Indignation ist the story of a young man's education in life's terrifying chances and bizarre obstructions. It is a story of inexperience, foolishness, intellectual resistance, sexual discovery, courage and error, told with all the inventive energy and wit Roth has at his command.
