About this title

Synopsis

Una novela kafkiana de mano del gran novelista estadounidense Philip Roth. �Un nuevo mundo de posibilidades sensuales... �Necesita decir uno de nuevo que Roth es un novelista admirable?�Anthony Burgess El profesor David Kepesh se despierta un d�a transformado en un pecho de mujer, de setenta kilos. Lo que ocurre a continuaci�n es una bizarra y extravagante alegor�a kafkiana, en esta ocasi�n canalizada a trav�s de una reflexi�n sobre la complejidad de nuestra sexualidad y la subjetividad con que normalmente es tratada. Rese�Un libro radical, complejo y conmovedor... El mayor ejemplo hasta la fecha de la destreza de Roth cuando el talento y el control del autor alcanzan su m�ximo esplendor.�Ted Solotaroff, E squire �El pecho es genial, creativo y muy divertido. La artima�a que se esconde en el fondo del libro es brillante...�John Gardner

From the Back Cover

"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 Breast is 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
