Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gripping. . . . A masterly, often unnerving blend of tenderness, harshness, insight, and wit.' The New York Times Book Review'A bitter, often funny, always engrossing story. . . . The idealisms and hypocrisies of the postwar period [are] brilliantly resurrected.' The New York Review of Books'Philip Roth is an amazing writer. . . . I Married a Communist may very well become his classic work; perhaps a classic for all time,' The Plain DealerI Married a Communist tells of the rise and fall of Ira Ringold, who begins life as a teenage ditchdigger in 1930s Newark, becomes a bigtime 1940s radio star, and is destroyed in the McCarthy witch hunt of the 1950s. In his heydaywhen he was a zealous, bullying supporter of "progressive" political causesIra marries Hollywood silent-film star Eve Frame. Their honeymoon is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve's scandalous bestselling exposé that identifies him as "an American taking his orders from Moscow."This story of cruelty, betrayal, and revenge is a brilliant portrayal of that treacherous postwar epoch, when anti-Communist fever not only infected national politics but traumatized the intimate, innermost lives of friends and families, husbands and wives, parents and children.
