Set in a Newark neighborhood during a terrifying polio outbreak, Nemesis is a wrenching examination of the forces of circumstance on our lives. 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 Bucky's 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 Cantor's 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.

David Kepesh, an adventurous man of intelligence and feeling, tries to make his way to both pleasure and dignity through a world of sensual possibilities. Temptation comes to him in both its ordinary and spectacular forms, and the novel charts the history of his desire from the early years, when he is acceded to it totally, to the time when he attempts to domesticate his passions (and his wife's) and finally to that most surprising moment when desire ebbs and, frighteningly, seems on the brink of disappearance. The book explores in all its painful ramifications, the pursuit and loss of erotic happiness.

«Un nu aux seins opulents, légèrement évasés, pour lequel elle aurait pu poser elle-même. Un nu aux yeux clos, défendu comme elle par sa seule puissance érotique et, comme elle, à la fois primaire et élégant. Un nu mordoré mystérieusement endormi sur un gouffre noir velouté que, dans mon humeur du moment, j'associais à celui de la tombe. Fuselée, ondulante, elle t'attend, la jeune fille, immobile et muette comme la mort. A l'orée de la vieillesse, David Kepesh, esthète attaché à sa liberté et séducteur exigeant, rencontre parmi ses étudiantes Consuela Castillo, vingt-quatre ans, fille de riches émigrés cubains, «émerveillée» par la culture. Et découvre la dépendance sexuelle... et la mort qui rôde en chacun de nous. Après La tache, Philip Roth nous offre à la fois un précis amoureux, une radiographie de notre temps et une méditation sur la condition humaine. Un nouveau chef-d'œuvre, d'une perfection lapidaire.»
