Satirical take on Nixon-era political follies.

"Our Gang" by Philip Roth offers a razor-sharp satire of American politics that might appeal to you if you enjoy a blend of dark humor and historical critique. Roth's Trick E. Dixon is an exaggerated, yet eerily familiar political figure whose absurdity mirrors the cynicism and disillusionment of the era. With a flair for the outrageous, Roth dissects the mechanisms of power and public apathy, crafting a narrative that's as entertaining as it is scathing. This one's a gem for those who appreciate both literary prowess and biting social commentary.

Description

A ferocious political satire in the great tradition, "Our Gang" is Philip Roth’s brilliantly indignant response to the phenomenon of Richard M. Nixon. In the character of Trick E. Dixon, Roth shows us a man who outdoes the severest cynic, a peace-loving Quaker and believer in the sanctity of human life who doesn’t have a problem with killing unarmed women and children in self-defense. A master politician with an honest sneer, he finds himself battling the Boy Scouts, declaring war on Pro-Pornography Denmark, all the time trusting in the basic indifference of the voting public. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
