| Plot Summary of Our Gang |
|---|
"OUR GANG is a political satire written in three months by Philip Roth in 1971.
Trick E. Dixon is the President of the United States with a little problem. People don't like him, even the boy-scouts of America dare to organize a demonstration in front of the White House. In the company of his advisors, he analyzes the situation and decides to fight the very causes of the Evil in America. So he will declare war against the pro-pornographic danish governement that has given shelter to a popular american baseball player guilty of having refused the system.
Very funny and accurate nowadays."
Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
