Critical Praise

"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

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

——The Washington Post Book World

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

——The New York Times Book Review
