Sabbath's Theater

by Philip Roth
Sabbath's Theater - Thryft
Sabbath's Theater - Thryft

Libidinous, tumultuous journey of self-destruction.

If you're drawn to deeply flawed characters and their psychological unraveling, "Sabbath's Theater" is a dive into the chaotic life of Mickey Sabbath. Roth's mastery lies in his ability to craft a protagonist who is at once repellent and irresistible, ensuring a complex read filled with dark humor and unflinching introspection. You'll find Sabbath's hedonistic spiral both a profound character study and a reflection on mortality and legacy.

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

Description

Winner of the National Book Award for FictionSabbath's Theater is a comic creation of epic proportions, and Mickey Sabbath is its gargantuan hero. At sixty-four Sabbath is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous; sex is an obsession and a principle, an instrument of perpetual misrule in his daily existence. But after the death of his long-time mistress - an erotic free spirit whose great taste for the impermissible matches his own - Sabbath embarks on a turbulent journey into his past. Bereft and grieving, tormented by the ghosts of those who loved and hated him, he contrives a succession of farcical disasters that take him to the brink of madness and extinction.
