ROTH, PHILIP Professor of Desire: First Edition
Farrar Straus Giroux, 1977. First Edition/Ex-Library. Hard Cover. Good/Good. First edition (stated, $8.95 list price). Ex-library with usual library markings, minor shelf wear. "As a student in college, David Kepesh styles himself "a rake among scholars, a scholar among rakes." Little does he realize how prophetic this motto will be—or how damning. For as Philip Roth follows Kepesh from the domesticity of childhood into the vast wilderness of erotic possibility, from a ménage à trois in London to the throes of loneliness in New York, he creates a supremely intelligent, affecting, and often hilarious novel about the dilemma of pleasure: where we seek it; why we flee it; and how we struggle to make a truce between dignity and desire.".
Offered for US$ 7.50 by: Yesterday's Muse Books - Book number: 064934
