Jim's review
Sabbath's Theater by Philip Roth
Another book people seem to love or hate that I love. Simple review is, it's Phillip Roth at his best/worst (all depends on your perspective). Beautifully unlikeable, lecherous character with a dying/dead soul. Phillip Roth somehow managed to make me feel sorry and empathetic for someone I found to be disgusting. I thought that was a pretty good trick. Also, Sabath's character is brilliantly developed and the book is fucking (carefully chosen word) hilarious. So if you don't mind being a bit disgusted and want to see a master of his craft wield a wicked pen, this is a great book.
