�His early novel Call It Sleep was his Ulysses. His late work An American Type is his Grapes of Wrath.��Thane Rosenbaum, Los Angeles Times This �glorious, evocative, literary novel for the ages� (Los Angeles Times) has finally taken its place within the great canon of American fiction. Set during the Great Depression, against a backdrop of New York�s glimmering skyscrapers and Los Angeles�s seedy motor courts, this autobiographical work concludes the unparalleled saga of Henry Roth, whose classic Call It Sleep, published in 1934, went on to become one of Time�s 100 best American novels of the twentieth century. With echoes of Nathanael West and John Steinbeck, An American Type is a heartrending statement about American identity and the universal transcendence of love.
