I Married a Communist is the story of the rise and fall of Ira Ringold, a big American roughneck who begins life as a teenage ditchdigger in 1930s Newark, becomes a big-time 1940s radio star, and is destroyed, both as a performer and a man, in the McCarthy witch hunt of the 1950s.In his heyday as a star -- and as a zealous, bullying supporter of progressive political causes -- Ira marries Hollywood's beloved silent-film star, Eve Frame. Their glamorous honeymoon in her Manhattan townhouse is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve's scandalous bestselling expose that identifies him as an American taking his orders from Moscow.In this story of cruelty, betrayal, and revenge spilling over into the public arena from their origins in Ira's turbulent personal life, Philip Roth -- who Commonweal calls the master chronicler of the American twentieth century -- has written a brilliant fictional 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.…

Informazioni sull’autore
In 2005 The Plot Against America received the Society of American Historians prize for the outstanding historical novel on an American theme for 2003-2004.
Recently Roth received PENs two most prestigious prizes: in 2006 the PEN/Nabokov Award for a body of work of enduring originality and consummate craftsmanship and in 2007 the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for achievement in American Fiction, given to a writer whose scale of achievement over a sustained career places him or her in the highest rank of American literature.
Roth is the only living American writer to have his work published in a comprehensive, definitive edition by the Library of America. The last of eight volumes is scheduled for publication in 2013.
