Phillip Rose was the author of “Canon” in the history of American literature. His “American Pastoral” also won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, and was competed by leading media to introduce and comment on it. Among the American trilogy by Philip Rose, “American Pastoral” was the first one to come out in 1997. There is no lack of clever use of irony art techniques in the novel, which makes the whole novel more humorous in the process of reading, and at the same time makes the expression more deeply revealed in the theme. Appreciation of the art of irony in the American Pastoral not only reveals the charm of the work itself, but also provides a more appropriate grasp and understanding of the overall style and technique of the American trilogy.
