The Breast

Like a latter-day, Gregor Smasa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed. But where Kafkas protagonist turned into a giant beetle, the narrator of Philip Roths richly conceived fantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is a deliriously funny yet touching exploration of the full implications of Kepeshs metamorphosisa daring heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity.
