«Me casé con un comunista» is the novel by Philip Roth, published by Editorial Alfaguara in 2006 in hardback (373 pages, in Spanish).
In the McCarthy era, Iron Rinn, a former ditch digger and radio actor, ends up on the blacklist after fighting for a better world on returning from the Second World War. His wife, the actress Eve Frame, publicly accuses him of having ties with the Soviet Union, and the scandal ruins his life. His brother Murray tells this story years later.

For readers of contemporary fiction and novels about twentieth-century American society.
Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against America.
