{"product_id":"our-gang","title":"Our Gang","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilip Roth's 1971 satire reimagines the Nixon administration as a burlesque starring Trick E. Dixon, a president whose piety and paranoia are matched only by his gift for offending everyone in reach. Roth wrote it while the Watergate scandal was unfolding, which gives the jokes a fury that hindsight would have softened. The targets are obvious, the prose is not; the book is angrier than it is funny, and more honest than either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRandom House published the novel in hardcover at the height of Roth's early notoriety. A period piece now, but its disgust with political performance has not aged as much as one might hope; for readers who miss the old American appetite for public disgrace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48479488147668,"sku":"039447886X","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5410\/7860\/files\/9780394478869.jpg?v=1786813180","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vagaboundbooks.com\/products\/our-gang","provider":"Vagabound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
