Nemesis by Philip Roth

Cloth; Used. As New. Dust Jacket: As New. Nemesis by Philip Roth. First Edition/First Printing. Fiction/Literature.

"Nemesis, our good dictionaries tell us, is the goddess of retribution or vengeance, who reverses excessive good fortune, checks presumption and punishes wrongdoing. In this new novel, Nemesis takes the form of the polio epidemic of the 1940s as it advances through the Jewish section of Roth's native Newark, New Jersey."
