Roth and Trauma - The Problem of History in the Later Works (1995-2010) (Paperback, NIPPOD)

"Roth and Trauma: The Problem of History in the Later Works (1995-2010)" moves beyond a critical reception of Philip Roth's recent fiction that has focused primarily on an interest in post WWII America. By contrast, Aimee Pozorski argues that these novels grapple more comprehensively with US history in their fascination with America's "traumatic beginnings" and the legacy of the American Revolution. Drawing on close readings and trauma theory, "Roth and Trauma" reveals the problem of history in Roth's later works to be the unexpected and repeated appearance of historical trauma that links the still-unfinished American dream with the nightmarish quality of our recent history.
