Roth's erotic black comedy of an aging puppeteer won the National Book Award. (Aug.)
Winner of the National Book Award
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral delivers his “richest, most rewarding novel” (New York Times Book Review), about Micky Sabbath, a scandalous hero who embarks on a turbulent journey into his past.
Once an inventive puppeteer, Sabbath at sixty-four is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous. But after the death of his longtime 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.
