I Married a Communistby Roth, Philip
DescriptionNY: Houghton Mifflin, 1998. First printing. The jacket shows slight edge wear and there is a 3/4" dimple on the bottom rear near the spine. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Book summaryIra Ringold, a Jew from Newark (Philip Roth's home town), joins the communist party during World War II. Back home, he becomes a radio celebrity and marries an aging movie queen named Eve Frame. The marriage ends in disaster when Eve writes a book called I MARRIED A COMMUNIST, exposing Ira's secret life and making him vulnerable to the American anti-communist frenzy. Ultimately, he is destroyed. Like AMERICAN PASTORAL (1997), this novel is partly narrated by Roth's alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman, and seems to be based on Roth's own troubled relationship with the actress Claire Bloom, to whom he was married for five years--and who had already written her own scathing book about the marriage. I MARRIED A COMMUNIST was a New York Times Notable Book for 1998. Similar books from this booksellerFrom this bookseller's General Fiction catalog.
