The Prague Orgy de Philip Roth

The Prague Orgy

Autor Philip Roth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 apr 2027
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning commentator on twentieth-century America, a journey into the very different world beyond the iron curtain.
It's the mid-1970s, and American novelist Nathan Zuckerman's search for the unpublished manuscript of a martyred Yiddish writer takes him to Soviet-occupied Prague. He finds a nation quite unlike his own, straightjacketed by totalitarian Communism and institutionalised oppression, and a community of subjugated writers. Through a series of bizarre and poignant adventures, he discovers in them appealingly perverse kind of heroism.

Notă biografică

Philip Roth was born in Newark, New Jersey on 19 March 1933, to second-generation Americans Bess and Herman. He grew up in the largely Jewish community of Weequahic, a neighbourhood his writing returned to time and again.
Roth received the National Book Award for his first book, Goodbye, Columbus (1959), but it was his fourth, Portnoy's Complaint (1969) which secured his reputation as one of America's finest writers, and American Pastoral (1997) which won the Pulitzer Prize. Roth wrote thirty-one books in all, winning the International Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award twice. He was presented with the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal by Presidents Clinton and Obama, respectively.
Roth died aged eighty-five on 22 May 2018, six years after retiring from writing.

Recenzii

"Obscenely outrageous and yet brilliantly reflective of a paranoid reality that has become universal. It is the best of Roth, a kind of coda to all his fiction so far" -- Harold Bloom New York Times Book Review "This fitting capstone to Roth's Zuckerman trilogy proves that no one now writing can be funnier and more passionately serious than Philip Roth" The Times "Scabrous, gutsy and scathing" The Times "A black fable about the lies and fictions which are the life blood of both politics and literature" Sunday Times
