<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For the first time in paperback, here is the bold and utterly outrageous new novel of a libidinous 64-year-old curmudgeon by the National Book Award winner, Philip Roth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - <i>Sabbath's Theater</i> is a comic creation of epic proportions, and Mickey Sabbath is its gargantuan hero. <p/>Roth's richest, most rewarding novel ... funny and profound ... as powerful as writing can be. --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> </b> <p/>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 surpassed 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>ONE OF <i>THE NEW YORKER</i>'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR</b> <p/>A great work . . .
