Status Updates From Sabbaths Theater

Roth may be the prototypical white old man writer but he knows how to draw characters. Mickey Sabbath is a conflicted man full of contradictions. The women around him come to life as well. His lover Drenka, already dead after 50 pages but still taking room, his first wife Nikki, mysteriously disappeared. His current wife recovering from the mental wounds he inflicted. It's clear that Sabbath is on his final mission.

John Turturro‘s performance was incredible. Best audiobook narration ever.

The bookmark left on my last effort is on page 50. Maybe, this time I persist. If I remember correctly, this is my third try.

quite crude but provocatively so
I can see why people would hate it
Interesting to see where the story goes from here
