Summary

Since its establishment in 1948, the State of Israel claimed Philip Roth’s allegiance. The allegiance was granted, but with reservations. Despite his satirical treatment of his New Jersey cultural environment, Roth loved his birthplace and had not much love left over for Israel, which his avatar Nathan Zuckerman sees as an “unharmonious” country, “where it appears that nothing, from the controversy to the weather, is ever blurred or underdone,”yet which somehow makes demands on an American Jew.
