Summary
In Our Gang, Philip Roth offers a biting political satire that lampoons the world of politics and government. Written in the early 1970s, the novel centers around Trick E. Dixon, a caricatured American president whose administration is depicted as being absurdly manipulative and out of touch with reality. Roth’s darkly comedic and surreal take on the political system addresses issues of power, propaganda, and the media, delivering scathing critiques through sharp wit and clever narrative devices. Through exaggerated situations and characters, Our Gang provokes readers to question authority, hypocrisy, and the nature of American democracy, all while showcasing Roth's signature satirical style.
