Krátky popis
In quest of the unpublished manuscript of a martyred Yiddish
writer, the American novelist Nathan Zuckerman travels to
Soviet-occupied Prague in the mid-1970s. There, in a nation
straightjacketed by totalitarian Communism, he discovers a literary
predicament, marked by institutionalised oppression, that is rather
different from his own. He also discovers, among the oppressed
writers with whom he quickly becomes embroiled in a series of
bizarre and poignant adventures, an appealingly perverse kind of
heroism. The Prague Orgy, consisting of entries from Zuckerman's
notebooks recording his sojourn among these outcast artists,
completes the trilogy and epilogue Zuckerman Bound. It provides a
startling ending to Roth's intricately designed magnum opus on the
unforeseen consequences of art.In 1997 Philip Roth won the Pulitzer
Prize for American Pastoral. In 1998 he received the National Medal
of Arts at the White House, and in 2002 the highest award of the
American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Gold Medal in Fiction,
previously awarded to John Dos Passos, William Faulkner and Saul
Bellow, among others. He has twice won the National Book Award and
the National Book Critics Circle Award. He has won the PEN/Faulkner
Award three times. In 2005 The Plot Against America received the
Society of American Historians’ Prize for ‘the outstanding
historical novel on an American theme for 2003–2004’.Recently Roth
received PEN’s two most prestigious prizes: in 2006 the PEN/Nabokov
Award ‘for a body of work . . . of enduring originality and
consummate craftsmanship’ and in 2007 the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for
Achievement in American Fiction, given to a writer whose ‘scale of
achievement over a sustained career . . . places him or her in the
highest rank of American literature’. In 2011 Roth won the
International Man Booker Prize.Roth is the only living American
writer to have his work published in a comprehensive, definitive
edition by the Library of America.
