- W1973767319 abstract "The powerful scene in Philip Roth's recent and very well-received novel The Plot Against America (2004) takes place in Washington hotel. The novel, as even those who haven't read it are likely to know, is an alternative or counterfactual history, one that imagines the American past along the same lines that Sinclair Lewis imagined the future in his 1935 It Can't Happen Here: the central conceit of both books is US that follows in Nazi Germany's footsteps. But where anti-Semitism is only one weapon in the arsenal of Lewis's dictator, it's absolutely central to Roth's President Charles Augustus Lindbergh. Roth's alternative history is, after all, post Holocaust. And so the scene I'm referring to involves the fictional Roth family's experience first at the Lincoln Memorial where, reading aloud the words All men are created equal, Mr. Roth is called a loudmouth Jew (65) and, second, at the hotel where he and his family are told their reservations are no good and are refused room. When the police are called, rather than setting things right, they throw the family out. What happened? whispers the fictional little Philip to his brother; Anti-Semitism, (69) the brother whispers back. Roth's idea, of course, is that it very easily could have happened here-if, say, the antiwar as well as anti-Semitic Lindbergh had been pushed to run for the presidency in 1940 by his friend and fellow anti-Semite Henry Ford and if the popularity of Lindbergh's antiwar platform had helped to legitimate his anti-Semitism. So, part of the book's power derives from its realism, the fact that it feels like the truth-one reviewer called it Roth's most believable book" @default.
