The Prague Orgy

The Prague Orgy is a startling conclusion to Philip Roth’s intricately designed magnum opus, Zuckerman Bound. The Prague Orgy takes the American novelist Nathan Zuckerman on a quixotic journey to search for the stories of an unknown Yiddish writer. The entries from Zuckermans notebooks are rich with comedy and dense with observation, detailing his relationship with the oppressed artists of communist Prague. In his bizarre adventures with the city’s outcast writers, he discovers a perverse but appealing heroism.
