Breast

Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morningto find that he has been transformed. But where Kafka's protagonist turnedinto a giant beetle, the narrator of Philip Roth's richly conceivedfantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is adeliriously funny yet touching exploration of the full implications ofKepesh's metamorphosis - a daring, heretical book that brings us face toface with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity.
