Summary
In Sabbath's Theater, Philip Roth explores the life of Mickey Sabbath, a disgraced puppeteer, whose hedonistic pursuits and moral disintegration take center stage. Sabbath's character is unapologetically self-destructive, indulging in a life driven by desire, revenge, and reflection on mortality. As he struggles with the death of his lover and faces the consequences of his reckless choices, Sabbath’s journey is one of dark humor, profound sadness, and relentless philosophical inquiry. Roth’s prose is biting and unflinching, making this novel a striking meditation on sex, death, and the human condition.
