Sabbath’s Theater

De: Philip Roth

Narrado por: John Turturro

Winner of the National Book Award

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral delivers his “richest, most rewarding novel” (New York Times Book Review), about Micky Sabbath, a scandalous hero who embarks on a turbulent journey into his past.

Once an inventive puppeteer, Sabbath at sixty-four is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous. But after the death of his longtime mistress—an erotic free spirit whose adulterous daring surpassed even his own—Sabbath, bereft and grieving and besieged by the ghosts of those who loved and hated him most, contrives a succession of farcical disasters that take him to the brink of madness and extinction.

John Turtoro is great!!! This is hilarious

Humor and Joy is all over John Turturo’s reading. This
Is a wonderful listen. Enjoy!!

Great book. A story about a puppeteer who was a rebellion at his time who loved life and his women

Amazing story narrated by an amazing actor! Raw and realistic. I enjoyed listening every scene of this tragicomedy of life.

Revolting and Brilliant

One of the most unflichingly cruel and honest books I've yet read. Turturo's performance might be the finest I've heard of any audiobook reading. Spiritually and emotionally draining yet resonant with deep truth lifted from the bowels of cultural repression.

Crude n lewd and sportin a tude

Tuturro’s performance is amazing. Lots of pervy talk shouted into your ears like a crazy person

A classic Roth masterpiece

Classic Roth, who is the G.O.A.T. of American fiction.

Turturro is the best possible narrator of this particular work. It's as if it was written for him. I've never heard a narrator perform dialogue as well is he in this work. Like Roth, Turturro is a master.
