«El teatro de Sabbath» is the novel by Philip Roth, published by Suma de Letras in paperback (592 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Mickey Sabbath, a former puppeteer brimming with energy and lust, who rebels against the passage of time. After the death of his lover, he embarks on a turbulent journey into his past and unleashes a series of absurd mishaps that bring him to the brink of madness and destruction.
The work was originally published in 1995 as Sabbath's Theater and won the National Book Award; this Spanish edition appeared in 2000 with a translation by Jordi Fibla.
For readers of contemporary fiction and twentieth-century American narrative.
Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against America.
