Description: |
Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed. This book brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity where the protagonist turned into a giant beetle, and the narrator has become a 155-pound female breast. |
Synopsis: |
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 monstrous cockroach, the narrator of Philip Roth's fantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is a deliriously funny yet moving exploration of the full implications of Kepesh's metamorphosis; audacious, heretical - as darkly hilarious as it is existentially unnerving - making new the silliness, triviality and wonderful meaninglessness of lived human experience. |
