It questions how efforts to apply a politics of liberal anti-fascism to the text imply Roth’s unquestioned support for the moral and intellectual frameworks of contemporary liberal opposition to Trump. This article explores how Roth’s formal concerns with issues of ambiguity, irony, and contradiction resist the corralling of his fiction to suit any particular ideological aspiration or unquestioned moral perspective, no matter how perceivably liberal and anti-authoritarian in its creedal outlook. Indeed, as this article makes clear, Roth’s concern with the resistance of literary expression to polemical sloganeering is made evident by the ways in which The Plot Against America subjects the cohesive liberal values of its main characters to what Lionel Trilling outlined as the disaggregating impact of novelistic discourse. As this article discusses, Roth’s examination of the limits of liberal subjectivity in The Plot Against America offers an altogether new way of thinking about how the novel may be read in the context of our own troubled times.","PeriodicalId":228582,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature (1981-)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132757616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that Appella’s writing is multidirectional and nonlinear, two significant characteristics of Jewish writing that necessitate greater attention to the flow of ideas and people across borders in the Western hemisphere, such as between the United States and Argentina, as well as across the Atlantic, such as in contact with Eastern Europe or Israel. Moreover, this multidirectionality draws in “communities of response” in Argentina, even students in a largely Catholic and/or indigenous society who may have previously known little or nothing about Jewish history or the Holocaust. Thinking with the concept of “communities of response” (Davis 1997), my article means to draw attention to the many possibilities for resonance or meaning, which go beyond simple and perhaps misguided assumptions that attempt to fix the Jewishness of Appella or her writing.","PeriodicalId":228582,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature (1981-)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128432275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
