About This Audiobook
Philip Roth's 'Nemesis' is a scorching, compact gem set in the blistering summer of 1944 Newark, where a polio epidemic rages. The story centers on Bucky Cantor, a young, idealistic playground director, whose myopia bars him from military service, fueling his desire to protect the children in his care. Roth's prose is lean and unflinching, capturing the fear and desperation of the times. Dennis Boutsikaris' narration is a standout, bringing Bucky's inner turmoil and moral ambiguity to life with nuance and intensity. This isn't a feel-good listen, but it's a gripping, thought-provoking one.
