I Married a Communist
By Philip Roth
Usually dispatched within 3 - 5 business days.
£ 8.24
The second novel of Roth’s eloquent American trilogy, set in the tempestuous McCarthy era - a brilliant successor to American PastoralI Married a Communist charts the rise and fall of Ira Ringold, an American roughneck who begins life as a ditchdigger in 1930s New Jersey, becoming a big-time radio hotshot in the 1940s. In his heyday as a star - and as a zealous, bullying supporter of ''progressive'' political causes - Ira marries Hollywood''s beloved leading lady, Eve Frame. Their glamorous honeymoon is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve''s scandalous bestselling expose that identifies Ira as ''an American taking his orders from Moscow''. In this story of cruelty, betrayal, and savage revenge, anti-Communist fever pollutes national politics and infects the relationships of ordinary Americans; friends become deadly enemies, parents and children tragically estranged, lovers blacklisted and felled from vertiginous heights.‘Quintessential Philip Roth’ Sunday Telegraph
