Reviews
"A radical, complex, and moving book...the best example yet of Roth's astonishing prowess when he is at the top of his talent and control." -Ted Solotaroff,Esquire "A new shock world of sensual possibility.... Need one say again that Roth is an admirable novelist who never steps twice into the same river?" -Anthony Burgess "The Breastis terrific...inventive and sane and very funny. The trick which is the heart of the book is brilliant...and rich with meaning." -John Gardner,The New York TImes Book Review "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, "A radical, complex, and moving book...the best example yet of Roth's astonishing prowess when he is at the top of his talent and control." -Ted Solotaroff, Esquire "A new shock world of sensual possibility....

Synopsis
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, 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 the full implications of Kepesh's metamorphosis a daring, heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness 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.
