NATIONAL BESTSELLER Set in a close-knit Newark neighborhood during a terrifying polio outbreak in 1944, a book [that] has the elegance of a fable and the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama (The New Yorker)-from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral.Bucky Cantor is a vigorous, dutiful twenty-three-year-old playground director during the summer of 1944. A javelin thrower and weightlifter, he is disappointed with himself because his weak eyes have excluded him from serving in the war alongside his contemporaries. As the devastating disease begins to ravage Buckys playground, Roth leads us through every inch of emotion such a pestilence can breed: fear, panic, anger, bewilderment, suffering, and pain. Moving between the streets of Newark and a pristine summer camp high in the Poconos, Nemesis tenderly and startlingly depicts Cantors passage into personal disaster, the condition of childhood, and the painful effect that the wartime polio epidemic has on a closely-knit, family-oriented Newark community and its children.
