Prague Orgy

<p><b>';Obscenely outrageous and yet brilliantly reflective of a paranoid reality that has become universal. It is the best of Roth.'</b> <b><i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b></p><p>In quest of the unpublished manuscript of a martyred Yiddish writer, the American novelist Nathan Zuckerman travels to Soviet-occupied Prague in the mid-1970s. There, in a nation straightjacketed by totalitarian Communism, he discovers a literary predicament, marked by institutionalized oppression, that is rather different from his own. He also discovers, among the oppressed writers with whom he quickly becomes embroiled in a series of bizarre and poignant adventures, an appealingly perverse kind of heroism.</p><p><i>The Prague Orgy</i> 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.</p>
