I Married A Communist Av Philip Roth

<p><b>The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Philip Roth turns his gaze on 30s and 40s America in this magnificent successor to <i>American Pastoral.</i></b><br><br>Ira Ringold is an American roughneck who transforms himself from a ditch-digger in 1930s New Jersey, to a radio hotshot in the 1940s. In his heyday as a star – and as a bullying supporter of ''progressive'' political causes – Ira marries Hollywood''s leading lady, Eve Frame. Their glamorous honeymoon is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve''s scandalous bestselling exposé that identifies Ira as ''an American taking his orders from Moscow''.
