Philip Roth: The Breast, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the Pulitzer Prize--winning author of American Pastoral : Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed---into a 155-pound breast. What follows is "terrific...inventive and sane and very funny (The New York Times Book Review ).
A deliriously funny yet touching exploration of the full implications of David Kepesh's metamorphosis---a daring, heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity.

"Hilarious, serious, visionary, logical, sexual-philosophical; the ending amazes---the joke takes three steps beyond savagery and satire and turns into a sublimeness of pity. One knows when one is reading something that will permanently enter the culture." ---Cynthia Ozick, author of Antiquities
