Once a scandalously inventive puppeteer, Sabbath at sixty-four is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous. But after the death of his longtime mistress-an erotic free spirit whose adulterous daring surpassed even his own-Sabbath embarks on a turbulent journey into his past. Bereft and grieving, besieged by the ghosts of those who loved and hated him most, he contrives a succession of farcical disasters that take him to the brink of madness and extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Roth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0063499339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063499331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.36w x 1.32d","brand":"Philip Roth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852790411519,"sku":"9780063499331","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sabbaths-theater-philip-roth-9780063499331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
