Mercy of a Rude Stream

By Henry Roth

Publisher: Picador
Pages: 1312

If your idea of a good time is digging into 1,300-plus pages of an underappreciated modernist classic, then you're (a) a person after our own heart and (b) in luck. Finally, Roth's four-volume opus is collected in one staggering edition—so clear your calendar.
