«Me casé con un comunista» is the novel by Philip Roth, published by DEBOLSILLO in paperback (464 pages, in Spanish).
Nathan Zuckerman, now a writer, recalls his encounters with his professor Murray Ringold, who reveals the truth about his brother Ira, a radio broadcaster fallen from grace during McCarthyism. The novel denounces the disloyalty and thirst for power that, sheltered by patriotism, marked the American postwar period.
The title belongs to the Contemporánea collection. The Spanish edition, translated by Jordi Fibla Feito, was originally published in 2005.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the political and social criticism of postwar America.
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.
