Philip Roth Sabbath's Theater

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral delivers his "richest, most rewarding novel" ( The New York Times Book Review ) about Micky Sabbath, a scandalous hero who embarks on a turbulent journey into his past. One of The Atlantic 's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Once an inventive puppeteer, Sabbath at sixty-four is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous. But after the death of his long-time mistress--an erotic free spirit whose adulterous daring surpassed even his own--Sabbath, bereft and grieving and besieged by the ghosts of those who loved and hated him most, contrives a succession of farcical disasters that take him to the brink of madness and extinction.
