Description

The first full-length novel from one of the most renowned writers of the twentieth century, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral, tells the story of a mid-century America and offers “further proof of Mr. Roth's astonishing talent…. Letting Go seethes with life” (The New York Times). Published when Roth was twenty-nine and set in Chicago, New York, and Iowa city, Letting Go presents as brilliant a fictional portrait as we have of America in the 1950s defined by social and ethical constraints and by moral compulsions conspicuously different from those of today. Newly discharged from the Korean War army, reeling from his mother's recent death, freed from old attachments and hungrily seeking others, Gabe Wallach is drawn to Paul Herz, a fellow graduate student in literature, and to Libby, Paul's moody, intense wife. Gabe's desire to be connected to the ordered "world of feeling" that he finds in books is first tested vicariously by the anarchy of the Herzes' struggles with responsible adulthood and then by his own eager love affairs. Driven by the desire to live seriously and act generously, Gabe meets an impassable test in the person of Martha Reganhart, a spirited, outspoken, divorced mother of two, a formidable woman who, according to critic James Atlas, is masterfully portrayed with "depth and resonance."The complex liason between Gabe and Martha and Gabe's moral enthusiasm for the trials of others are at the heart of this tragically comic work.

I consumed this 650 page novel in four days, and was so disappointed when I reached the last page. I still wanted more. No one writes dialogue better. Though the book is over 50 years old, it still feels timely and relevant today. Our hero can only be described as a true mensch. I loved him and yearned for his happiness. I do wish the ending had given him his just rewards.You will not be bored. This is a plot driven narrative with several intertwining stories. The couples are at once tragic and comedic - often within the same scene. I think most will see themselves within one or more of the main four characters, for better or worse.I think despite some organizational flaws, it is one of the most enjoyable novels I have ever read. It is a Jewish voice, culture and religion that forms the base of the story. Though (or because ?) my background is Catholic the underlying sense of guilt was very familiar.Don't miss this true masterpiece!
