Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
David Kepesh is an eminent cultural critic and star lecturer at a New York college-as well as an articulate propagandist of the sexual revolution. For years he has made a practice of sleeping with adventurous female students while maintaining an aesthete's critical distance. But now that distance has been annihilated.
When he becomes involved with Consuela Castillo, the humblingly beautiful daughter of Cuban exiles, Kepesh finds himself dragged helplessly, bitterly, furiously into the quagmire of sexual jealousy and loss. In chronicling this descent, Philip Roth performs a breathtaking set of variations on the themes of eros and mortality, license and repression, selfishness and sacrifice.
Review:
“Sorrowful, sexy, elegant . . .. A distinguished addition to Roth's increasingly remarkable literary career.”
San Francisco Chronicle
Review:
“Roth is a mesmerizing writer, whose very language has the vitality of a living organism.”
Los Angeles Times
Review:
“No one can come close to Roth's comic genius and breadth of moral imperative.”
The Boston Globe
