In the novel Czorah, which won the National Book Award, Bath brought modern discourse into the ancient context and commented on the myths of the mythology of Arabia and mythology through humor, irony and reconstruction. The social and historical fragments of the late-1970s and early-1970s reflected the subtle psychology of the people and provided the puzzled people with a literary dose of medicine.
