Indignation – a flashback giveaway

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Roadside Attractions. I received the same prize pack that I’ll be giving away.Indignation-Poster

When I was a teenager I read Goodbye, Columbus. It was my initiation into the world of Philip Roth.  Later I would dive into Portnoy’s Complaint, seeing it on my mother’s nightstand. As a Jewish woman in America, he spoke to our culture exploring the Jewish experience in his novels. It’s been years since I’ve picked up one of his novels, and when I saw that Indignation, written some eight years ago, was being made into a film I was excited to put it on my “must see list” for this summer (especially after the great buzz from the Sundance screenings).

Indignation-Still4

Based on Philip Roth’s late novel, Indignation takes place in 1951, as Marcus Messner (Logan Lerman), a brilliant working class Jewish boy from Newark, New Jersey, travels on scholarship to a small, conservative college in Ohio, thus exempting him from being drafted into the Korean War. But once there, Marcus’s growing infatuation with his beautiful classmate Olivia Hutton (Sarah Gadon), and his clashes with the college’s imposing Dean, Hawes Caudwell (Tracy Letts), put his and his family’s best laid plans to the ultimate test.

With accolades like: “Tremendous.” New York Times and “A Star-making performance by Logan Lerman.” Vanity Fair I know it’s going to be excellent.
Cast:

  • Logan Lerman (Perks of Being a Wallflower)
  • Sarah Gadon (Hulu miniseries – 11.22.63)
  • Pulitzer Prize/Tony Winner Tracy Letts
  • Tony Nominated Linda Emond

  11. I haven’t heard of him before this post. But this movie sounds like something I’d really enjoy.

  23. I don’t know that Roth is the kind of writer that produces “favorite” books exactly. I found the couple that I’ve read to be…intense…uhm…penetrating (is that a good word for a book? lol) ‘Portnoy’s Complaint’ and ‘Human Stain’ are the two that come to mind.

  32. I’ve never read a Philip Roth novel but because I’m always looking for new authors, I might have to check him out!

  33. I read A LOT but I don’t believe I’ve ever read a Philip Roth novel 🙁
    I’ll certainly check them out though.
    thanks!

  62. HHonestly, I’ve never heard of Philip Roth. However, I’m going to have to check them out and see what they’re wrote about.

  67. I loved The Plot Against America. Novels that play with history are a favorite of mine and Roth did so with great skill.

  70. I have only read Shop Talk. It was very interesting. I love books that include interviews , they’re like a memoir.

  77. I never read one but I did buy the book Indignation and plan to read it before I watch the movie.

  81. I also read Philip Roth books that my mother had. Luckily she passed the love of reading down to me.
