Philip Roth: His Dystopian Imagination

Dystopian world offers as insightful assessment of Philip Roth’s three seminal texts, tracing the trajectory of dystopian inception in American Jewish culture to its deadly embrace. While satirising contemporary American culture, the book addresses inevitable questions of social and political turbulence enmeshed with postmodern concerns. Roth’s heroes with their madness and eccentricities shatter the complacent times. Dystopian truth, therefore is an invisible passport to Roth’s brave new world, teaming with banalities of American consumerism, pastoral collapse and rambunctious sexual desires.

It is a book that weaves American history with individual lives to voice the most uncomfortable truths of human existence.
