Seymour 'Swede' Levov - a legendary high school athlete, a devoted family man, a hard worker, the prosperous inheriter of his father's Newark glove factory - comes of age in thriving, triumphant post-war America. But everything he loves is lost when the country begins to run amok in the turbulent 1960s.

Why does Roth insist on following every phrase of dialogue with a long paragraph of tedious commentary? I've picked this book up and put it down so many times! A good story but full of poorly constructed sentences.
