Indignation
By Philip Roth
256 pages;
Vintage
Set in
a sleepy Ohio campus in 1951,
Indignation (out July 29) stars Logan Lerman as Marcus, an anxious
college student who's struggling to adapt to a Midwestern Christian school and make sense of the troubled girl he's developed a
crush on. Philip Roth, author of the original 2008 novel, is a master at
balancing sex, religion, morality and American life, and particularly brilliant at balancing Marcus'
personal concerns with the increasing drumbeats of the Korean War.
