ROTH, PHILIP Portnoy's Complaint
Random House, 1969. 3rd Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 3rd PRINTING HARDCOVER. 1/2" dust jacket tear, light shelf wear. Binding tight. "Novel by Philip Roth, published in 1969. The book became a minor classic of Jewish-American literature. This comic novel is structured as a confession to a psychiatrist by Alexander Portnoy, who relates the details of his adolescent obsession with masturbation and his domination by his over-possessive mother, Sophie. Portnoy's "complaint" refers to the damage done to him by the culture that has shaped him; although he is successful, his achievements are marred by a nagging sense of guilt." -- Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature.
