Nemesis by Philip Roth
Product Description
In the “stifling heat of equatorial Newark”, a terrifying epidemic is raging, threatening the children of the New Jersey city with maiming, paralysis, lifelong disability, and even death. This is the startling theme of Philip Roth’s wrenching new book: set in the Jewish Weequahic section of Newark during the war year of 1944, Roth imagines an epidemic and the effect it has on a closely knit, family-oriented Newark community and its children.
