Review
"Scabrous, gutsy and scathing" (The Times)
"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)
"A black fable about the lies and fictions which are the life blood of both politics and literature" (Sunday Times)
From the Publisher
'One of Roth's most brilliant (and funniest) works...a lithe comic masterpiece.' Newsweek

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Lilly Lee (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of largely red jacket and spine, spine slightly faded, not price clipped (£5.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 89pp. In search of the unpublished manuscript of a martyred Yiddish writer, American novelist Nathan Zuckerman travels to Soviet occupied Prague in the mid 1970s. There, in a nation straight jacketed by totalitarian Communism, he discovers a literary predicament marked by an institutionalised oppression that is rather different from his own. He also discovers, among the subjugated writers with whom he quickly becomes embroiled in a series of bizarre and poignant adventures, an appealingly perverse kind of heroism. 'The Prague Orgy' consisting of entries from Zuckerman's notebooks recording his sojourn among these outcast artists, completes the trilogy and epilogue 'Zuckerman Bound'. It provides a startling ending to Roth's intricately designed magnum opus on the unforeseen consequences of art. Quite a scarce book by American Jewish author Philip Milton Roth (1933-2018).
