Description: | Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed. audacious, heretical - as darkly hilarious as it is existentially unnerving - making new the silliness, triviality and wonderful meaninglessness of lived human experience. 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. |
