«Le complot contre l'Amérique» is the alternate history novel by Philip Roth, published by Gallimard in paperback (488 pages, in French).
In the alternative America of 1940, the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh defeats Franklin D. Roosevelt in the presidential election and, once in the White House, signs a non-aggression pact with Hitler. The narrative follows a Jewish family from Newark, including the young Philip Roth, as antisemitism spreads across the country and fear takes hold in millions of homes.
The French edition, translated from English by Josée Kamoun, belongs to the Du monde entier collection; its original is The Plot Against America.
For readers interested in historical uchronias and in Philip Roth's narrative.
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.
