Nemesis

Set in the summer of 1944 in Newark, this audiobook follows Bucky Cantor, a playground director who is deeply committed to his community during a deadly polio epidemic. As the disease spreads and affects the children he cares for, the story explores a range of intense emotions including fear, panic, and suffering. Praised for its masterful storytelling and haunting atmosphere, it is considered one of Philip Roth's most compelling works.
