In quest of the unpublished manuscript of a martyred Yiddish writer, the American novelist Nathan Zuckerman--Roth's perennial alter ego--travels to Prague and discovers, among the oppressed writers there, an unforeseen and perverse kind of heroism.

Publisher Notes

The Prague Orgy, consisting of entries from protagonist Nathan Zuckermans notebooks recording his sojourn among outcast artists, completes Roths masterful trilogy and epilogue Zuckerman bound. It provides a startling ending to Roth's intricately designed magnum opus on the unforeseen consequences of art. This Vintage edition is the first paperback publication of the epilogue.

Media Reviews

"Obscenely outrageous and yet brilliantly reflective of a paranoid reality that has become universal. It is the best of Roth, a kind of coda to all his fiction so far."

First Line

"Your novel," he says, "is absolutely one of the five or six books of my life."
