Description

Ira Ringold's life is a tale of meteoric rise and devastating fall. In 1930s New Jersey, he begins as a ditchdigger before becoming a radio star in the 1940s. His glamorous marriage to Eve Frame, Hollywood's leading lady, seems secure, but their happiness is short-lived. When Eve publishes a bestselling expose that accuses Ira of taking orders from Moscow, his world is turned upside down. As anti-Communist fever sweeps the nation, ordinary Americans find themselves torn apart by politics and betrayal. Friends become enemies, families are estranged, and lovers are blacklisted. In this gripping story, Philip Roth explores the darker side of American life in the McCarthy era. A searing portrayal of cruelty and savage revenge, I Married a Communist is a powerful exploration of the human cost of ideology and the devastating consequences of unchecked passion.
