| book description |
""Terrific...inventive and sane and very funny. The trick which is the heart of the book is brilliant...and rich with meaning."" -- New York Times Book Review ""Hilarious, serious, visionary, logical, sexual-philosophical; the ending amazes."" --Cynthia Ozick In Philip Roth's brilliant take on The Metamorphosis, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed--into a 155-pound breast. Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed. But where Kafka's protagonist turned into a giant beetle, the narrator of Philip Roth's richly conceived fantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is a deliriously funny yet touching exploration of full implications of Kepesh's metamorphosis--a daring heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity.
