It’s one of the great political novels for its depiction of how alterations in power affect ordinary men and women, and how obedience brings disaster.
Linda Grant, New Statesman
In his 2004 novel, The Plot Against America, Roth precisely described the sinister and chilling nightmare in which the United States now finds itself… America has not read enough of Philip Roth
Bernard-Henri Lévy, New Statesman
A dark, humane masterpiece, Roth is at the peak of his powers
The Times
Another frighteningly intense performance
Sunday Telegraph
The word genius doesn't seem excessive... The Plot Against America creates its reality magisterially, in long, fluid sentences that carry you beyond scepticism
Guardian
Untouchable...he is bequeathing us a body of work that adds up to the most accomplished dissection of American political, social and personal mores
Observer
Magnificent. Roth is writing the best books of his life. He captures better than anyone the collision of public and private, the intrusion of history into the skin, the pores of every individual alive
Guardian
Subtle, persuasive and unsettling. A brilliantly troubling and heartening novel
Sunday Times
Many passages in The Plot Against America echo feelings voiced today by vulnerable Americans – immigrants and minorities as alarmed by Trump’s election as the Jews of Newark are frightened by Lindbergh’s
New Yorker
Dazzling. The most exciting novelist writing today
Independent on Sunday
The novel is full of his usual furious cackling; tragedy tipping into comedy and comedy into tragedy within the space of a few sentences. The prose is beautiful
Mail on Sunday
A sensation
Sunday Times
A polemical classic
Esquire
Brilliant
Metro
One of the best writers of dialogue in the history of inverted commas
The Times
A reverberating celebration of family, community and humanity
