ROTH, PHILIP Our Gang (Starring Tricky and His Friends)
Random House, 1971. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 2nd printing. $5.95 list price on dust jacket flap. Minor shelf wear. Binding tight, pages clean & bright. "A ferocious political satire in the great tradition, Our Gang is Philip Roth's brilliantly indignant response to the phenomenon of Richard M. Nixon. In the character of Trick E. Dixon, Roth shows us a man who outdoes the severest cynic, a peace-loving Quaker and believer in the sanctity of human life who doesn't have a problem with killing unarmed women and children in self-defense. A master politician with an honest sneer, he finds himself battling the Boy Scouts, declaring war on Pro-Pornography Denmark, all the time trusting in the basic indifference of the voting public." CONTENTS: Tricky Comforts a Troubled Citizen; Tricky Holds a Press Conference; Tricky Has Another Crisis; or, The Skull Session; Tricky Addresses the Nation (The Famous 'Something is Rotten in the State of Denmark' Speech); The Assassination of Tricky; On the Comeback Trail; or Tricky in Hell.
