Once a scandalously inventive puppeteer, Sabbath at sixty-four is still defiantly antagonistic and exceedingly libidinous. But after the death of his longtime mistress-an erotic free spirit whose adulterous daring surpassed even his own-Sabbath embarks on a turbulent journey into his past. Bereft and grieving, besieged by the ghosts of those who loved and hated him most, he contrives a succession of farcical disasters that take him to the brink of madness and extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57495493804405,"sku":"9780063499331","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/sabbaths-theater","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
