Roth''s erotic black comedy of an aging puppeteer won the
National Book Award.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
內容簡介：
Mickey Sabbath, the hero in Sabbath''s Theater, the
winner of the 1995 National Book Award, makes a concerted effort to
be bad. Like Alexander Portnoy, the famously self-abusing character
in Roth''s 1969 novel Portnoy''s Complaint, Sabbath
has an appetite for "acts of exhibitionism, voyeurism, fetishism,
auto-eroticism and oral coitus." But while Portnoy''s antics were
usually comical and liberating, Sabbath often feels imprisoned by
his own acts of self-indulgence. Though his frantic pursuit of sex
is a desperate attempt to abate his anxieties about death, it only
serves to obliterate any semblance of real life he could have had.
