Critical Praise

"Huge, inflammatory, painfully moving. . . . Far and away the most outward-looking, expansive . . . book Roth has written."

——The Washington Post Book World

"Roth’s most powerfrul book to date. Confounding and illuminating, enraging and discomfiting, imaginative and utterly–terrifyingly–believable."

——San Francisco Chronicle

"Once again, Philip Roth has published a novel that you must read–now . . . . A stunning work."

——The Christian Science Monitor

"A terrific political novel. . . . Sinister, vivid, dreamlike . . . creepily plausible. . . . You turn the pages, astonished and frightened."

——The New York Times Book Review
