I don't know if anyone has read "The Plot Against America" by Philip Roth, but I like that one. From wikipedia: "It is an alternative history in which Franklin Delano Roosevelt is defeated in the presidential election of 1940 by Charles Lindbergh. The novel follows the fortunes of the Roth family during the Lindbergh presidency, as antisemitism becomes more accepted in American life and Jewish-American families like the Roths are persecuted on various levels." I hesitate to say any alternate history fiction is reasonable, but the story in this books is at least not full of Hitler clones or whatever. It's very different from the other Roth books I've read, I'd say give it a shot. edit: apparently it also won the same award the Chabon book above won, so if that sways you in any way, there you have it. In fact this entire list may be worth further investigation if someone is looking to check out some good alternate history. The Berzerker fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Jun 22, 2014 |
