Publisher's Summary

Winner of the National Book Award

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral delivers his “richest, most rewarding novel” (New York Times Book Review), about Micky Sabbath, a scandalous hero who embarks on a turbulent journey into his past.

Once an inventive puppeteer, Sabbath at sixty-four is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous. But after the death of his longtime mistress—an erotic free spirit whose adulterous daring surpassed even his own—Sabbath, bereft and grieving and besieged by the ghosts of those who loved and hated him most, contrives a succession of farcical disasters that take him to the brink of madness and extinction.
