It is 1951 in America, the second year of the Korean War. A studious, lawabiding, intense youngster from Newark, New Jersey, Marcus Messner, is beginning his sophomore year on the pastoral, conservative campus of Ohio's Winesburg College. Meanwhile his father, the sturdy, hard-working neighborhood butcher, has gone mad--mad with fear and apprehension of the dangers of adult life, the dangers of the world, the dangers he sees in every corner for his beloved boy.
"Indignation" is a story of inexperience, foolishness, sexual discovery, and courage. "Indignation" is a powerful addition to Roth's investigations into the impact of American history on the life of the vulnerable individual.
