Description
Nemesis is a haunting tale of terror and suffering set against the backdrop of a devastating epidemic in 1944. In this heartbreaking story, a young playground director struggles to come to terms with his own limitations as polio ravages his community.
With masterful storytelling, Philip Roth explores every emotion that such a pestilence can breed - fear, panic, anger, bewilderment, suffering and pain. This is a powerful exploration of human vulnerability and the resilience of the human spirit.
A testament to Roth's genius, Nemesis is a deeply unsettling and unforgettable work that lingers long after the final page has been turned.
