The Great American Novel (Roth)
- The Great American Novel (Roth)
"The Great American Novel" is a novel by Philip Roth, published in 1973. It concerns the Patriot League, a fictional American baseball league, and the national Communist conspiracy to eliminate its history because it has become a fully open communist organization. The Port Ruppert Mundys of New Jersey lease their stadium to the United States Department of War at the beginning of the 1943 season, which forces them to play as a permanent road team. Characters on the Mundys roster are parallels of actual replacement players from the World War II era, such as one-armed outfielder Bud Parusha (Pete Gray)
