I just can’t get to loving Sabbath. On fact, I hate it. It reads and feels to me like one long, degrading, tortured masturbation. I guess that our alternate strong reactions are a good thing? I love so many of Roth’s books, but not this one.
I fully get it! A long, degrading, tortured masturbation is not a description I wholly disagree with! To me Sabbath is probably Roth at his craziest/most abrasive; Patrimony is him at his tenderest and most appealing.
