The Breast
The Breast
Like some latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes one morning to find that he has been transformed. But where Kafka's protagonist turned into a giant beetle, the narrator of Roth's fantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is a funny yet touching exploration of sex and subjectivity.
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
