Overview

He is Mickey Sabbath , the aging, raging powerhouse whose savage effrontery and mocking audacity are at the heart of Philip Roth's bold and hilarious new novel.

Once a scandalously 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 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.

Sabbath's Theater is a comic creation of epic proportions, and Mickey Sabbath is its gargantuan hero. And Philip Roth, in his twenty-first book, is at the very peak of his powers.
