In 1951, during the Korean War, Marcus Messner, a studious young man from Newark, New Jersey, enrolls at Winesburg College in Ohio to escape his father's growing paranoia. There, he faces a world of customs and prohibitions that challenge his view of life, leading him on a journey of self-discovery full of experiences, challenges, and crucial decisions. 'Indignation' tells the story of a young man facing life's opportunities and obstacles, exploring themes of inexperience, intellectual resistance, sexuality, and courage, all with the characteristic energy and brilliance of Philip Roth.
Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against America.
