“It is not my objective to be metaphoric or allegorical” history, counter-history, and antisemitism in Philip Roth’s «The Plot Against America»

After Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America (2004) came out he published “My Uchronia” (2004). Among other things, Roth explains that before reading Arthur M. Schlesinger’s A Life in the 20th Century (2000) he “had no such novel in mind” (2017: 341). This autobiography made him think of what would...

Among other things, Roth explains that before reading Arthur M. Schlesinger’s A Life in the 20th Century (2000) he “had no such novel in mind” (2017: 341). This autobiography made him think of what would have happened if Charles A. Lindbergh—the famous aviator and Nazism supporter—had won the 1940 elections instead of F.D. Roosevelt. In this essay, which abounds in the theme of antisemitism introduced in a previous paper (Sánchez Canales, 2021), I will focus on the factual figure of Lindbergh—and to a lesser extent that of his wife Anne Morrow—Roth’s counter-versions of them, and key factual and counterfactual events depicted in the narrative. Through this comparative analysis I will attempt to show that Roth’s fictional America is by no means something far-fetchedDespués de que The Plot Against America (2004) viera la luz, su autor Philip Roth publicó “My Uchronia” (2004). Entre otras cuestiones, Roth explica que antes de leer A Life in the 20th Century (2000) de Arthur M. Schlesinger, “no tenía una novela así en mente” (2017: 341). Esta autobiografía me hizo pensar en qué habría pasado si Charles A. Lindbergh—famoso aviador y pronazi—hubiera ganado las elecciones de 1940 en lugar de F.D. Roosevelt. En este ensayo, que ahonda en la cuestión del antisemitismo presentada en un artículo anterior (Sánchez Canales, 2021), nos centraremos en la figura real de Lindbergh —y en menor medida en la de su mujer Anne Morrow—, sus respectivas versiones ficticias, así como en hechos clave reales e inventados que aparecen en la novela. A través de este análisis comparado se intenta demostrar que la América ficticia de Roth no es ni mucho menos algo descabelladoUniversidad Autónoma de MadridDepartamento de Filologías y su DidácticaFacultad de Formación de Profesorado y Educación20242024-01-01research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10486/721183https://dx.doi.org/10.15366/actionova2024.m7.006reponame:Biblos-e Archivo.
