Philip Roth delivers a coming-of-age story about an indignant teenager whose conflicts seem destined to lead to an early grave. Philip Roth has delivered his third short novel in as many years. But whereas Everyman (2006) and Exit Ghost (2007) dealt with aging protagonists grappling with physical decline and looming death, Indignation is a coming-of-age story about a contentious teenager. Then again, this is a teenager dealing with looming death — thus proving that,... ...

Author: Jo Ellen Green Kaiser Posted to Jewcy: September 18, 2008 2:29 pm ===== Standing over her father's casket after the slow but steady unraveling of his wits and body towards death, the daughter of the anonymous hero of Philip Roth's 2006 novel Everyman quotes her father's code for surviving the cruelty and isolation of his spiritless world: "There's no remaking reality," he would say. "Just take it as it comes. Hold your ground and take it as it comes. There's no other way."

There he tests a worldy wisdom - in words that Everyman himself might have uttered - learned eviscerating chickens at the back of the family store: That's what I learned from my father and what I loved learning from him: that you do what you have to do. DNA, detail: Jennifer ZackinMessner begins his career at Winesburg (a fictional stand-in for Oberlin or Kenyon College) girded by an immigrant-style steely will to "do...
