Unknown Author

4.9/5 (20233 ratings)

Description:This sixth volume of The Library of America’s definitive edition of Philip Roth’s collected works gathers two novels that marked the beginning of a decade-long creative explosion—one remarkable in an older writer and one heralded by critics as unparalleled in American literary history.The fourth of the “Roth Books,” Operation Shylock, published in 1993 on Roth’s sixtieth birthday, presents the author in face-to-face confrontation with his double, a look-alike impostor—and perfect stranger—who has usurped his biography and whose self-appointed task is to lead the Jews out of Israel and back to Europe, a Moses in reverse and a monstrous nemesis to the real Philip Roth. Suspenseful, hilarious, impassioned, pulsing with speculative intelligence and narrative energy, Operation Shylock is at once spy story, political thriller, meditation on identity, confession, and unfathomable journey through a volatile, frightening Middle East.Sabbath’s Theater (1995) is a comic creation of epic proportions, and Mickey Sabbath, whose savage effrontery and mocking audacity are at the heart of the novel, is a gargantuan hero. Once a scandalously inventive puppeteer, Sabbath at sixty-four is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous. But ghost-ridden and grief-stricken after the death of his longtime Croatian mistress, the unsurpassable Drenka, he contrives a succession of farcical disasters that take him to the brink of madness and extinction. Two of the leading literary critics of the English-speaking world, Harold Bloom and Frank Kermode, have proposed Sabbath’s Theater as the finest American novel of the last quarter of the twentieth century.Library of America #205We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
