I Married a Communist charts the rise and fall of Ira Ringold, an American roughneck who begins life as a ditchdigger in 1930s New Jersey, becoming a big-time radio hotshot in the 1940s. In his heyday as a star - and as a zealous, bullying supporter of 'progressive' political causes - Ira marries Hollywood's beloved leading lady, Eve Frame. Their glamorous honeymoon is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve's scandalous bestselling expose that identifies Ira as 'an American taking his orders from Moscow'.In this story of cruelty, betrayal, and savage revenge, anti-Communist fever pollutes national politics and infects the relationships of ordinary Americans, friends become deadly enemies, parents and children tragically estranged, lovers blacklisted and felled from vertiginous heights.

It's such a crazy fairy tale they've got to take people and put them in Siberia in order to get them to believe it. Philip Roth, I Married a Communist //
- I don't think this is a novel about communism, maccarthism and whatever;- Obviously best pages of this book are those about Ira family: him and Sylphid and Eve... I think those are the reason why this book was written in the first place. Perhaps some Roth's personal life and revenge was involved - I don't know and really don't want... Maybe retrospect will make me feel more kindly toward this one: from the description of Nixon's funeral on into the end, Roth touches on an energy, a tension, an uncertainty that everything that came before came up short in. Suddenly, Murray and Zuckerman's relationship becomes real; suddenly, the story takes on a life outside of itself,... This wonderful book reminded me that there was a vibrant radical movement in the States before the '60's. Ira Ringold is almost a tragical figure to me with the full Aristotelian meaning: he is exalted to a prominent figure of both the Communist Party and his professional circles. He is strong, self confident and above all idealist....
