Sabbath's Theater

by Philip Roth
RM44.51 MYR
Sabbath's Theater
Sabbath's Theater

Libidinous puppeteer on chaotic journey of self-discovery.

Recommended for readers seeking an unapologetic exploration of sexuality, mortality, and the human psyche. The book's irreverent tone and gallows humor is tempered by a profound examination of grief and loss. Roth's unflinching portrayal of Micky Sabbath - a protagonist who is both repellent and captivating - makes for a compelling, if at times uncomfortable, read.

  • Pulitzer Prize Nominee for Fiction (1996)
  • National Book Award for Fiction (1995)

Description

Once a scandalously inventive puppeteer, Micky 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 exceeds even his own - Sabbath embarks on a turbulent journey into his past. Bereft and grieving, besieged by the ghosts of those who loved and hated him most, he contrives a succession of farcical disasters that take him to the brink of madness and extinction. 'A work of near-heroic vitality and cunning' Sunday Telegraph
