CENTRAL-EUROPEAN INSIGHTS IN PHILIP ROTH’S THE PRAGUE ORGY

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the premise that, as one of Roth’s shorter works, Philip Roth’s 1985 novella, The Prague Orgy, may have been insufficiently explored, the paper sets out to analyze its interconnectedness with and indebtedness to the Central-European historical and literary space. As part of a vaster project, via close readings in context, it will retrace the author’s preoccupation with major issues that, in time, shaped individual and collective, real and fictional trajectories across The Other Europe.
