«Nuestra pandilla» is Philip Roth's political satire novel, published by Debolsillo in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Written in the seventies, the novel settles scores with Richard Nixon: Trick E. Dixon, a Quaker president who claims to defend life, does not hesitate to justify violence against women and children, confronts the boy scouts and declares war on Denmark's pro-pornography government. Black humour and grotesque farce to portray the hypocrisy of power.
Second edition in the Contemporánea collection, with translation by Ramón Buenaventura. Work originally published as Our Gang in 1971.
Aimed at readers of political satire, followers of Philip Roth and those who enjoy twentieth-century American fiction.
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.
