«El teatro de Sabbath» is the literary fiction novel by Philip Roth, published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback (504 pages, in Spanish).
The novel tells the story of Mickey Sabbath, a lustful former puppeteer permanently angry at the world. When his lifelong lover dies, Sabbath embarks on a review of his past, pursued by those who loved and hated him; his attempts to escape that siege trigger a chain of disasters that put his sanity and life at risk.
This edition includes the translation by Jordi Fibla Feito; the original title is Sabbath's Theater (1995).
For readers of literary and contemporary fiction, especially followers of Philip Roth and provocative protagonists with acid humor.
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.
