<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"His early novel <em>Call It Sleep</em> was his <em>Ulysses</em>. His late work <em>An American Type</em> is his <em>Grapes of Wrath</em>."--Thane Rosenbaum, <em>Los Angeles Times</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This glorious, evocative, literary novel for the ages (Los Angeles Times) has finally taken its place within the great canon of American fiction. Set during the Great Depression, against a backdrop of New York s glimmering skyscrapers and Los Angeles s seedy motor courts, this autobiographical work concludes the unparalleled saga of Henry Roth, whose classic Call It Sleep, published in 1934, went on to become one of Time s 100 best American novels of the twentieth century. With echoes of Nathanael West and John Steinbeck, An American Type is a heartrending statement about American identity and the universal transcendence of love."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A passionate, life-embracing conclusion to Roth's bold and cathartic magnum opus.--Donna Seaman "Booklist, starred review"<br><br>An absorbing Depression-era love story, but what gives it special interest is the light it sheds on Roth's lost years.--Steven G. Kellman "Bookforum"<br>
