ROTH, PHILIP Professor of Desire
Farrar Straus Giroux, 1977. Book Club (BCE/BOMC)/Ex-Library. Hard Cover. Good/Good. 1977 BOOK CLUB HARDCOVER. Usual library markings, pages toned, dust jacket edge wear, shelf wear, spine leans right slightly. "As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself "a rake among scholars, a scholar among rakes." Little does he realize how prophetic this motto will be -- or how damning. For as Philip Roth follows Kepesh from the domesticity of childhood into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a ménage à trois in London to the throes of loneliness in New York, he creates a supremely intelligent, affecting, and often hilarious novel about the dilemma of pleasure: where we seek it; why we flee it; and how we struggle to make a truce between dignity and desire.".
