Got your FPL card? _____________________________________________________ From Wiki: The Breast is a novella by Philip Roth, in which the main character, David Kepesh, becomes a 155-pound breast. Throughout the book Kepesh fights with himself. Part of him wishes to give in to bodily desires, while the other part of him wants to be rational. Kepesh, a literature professor, compares his plight with that of fictional characters such as Gregor Samsa in Kafka's novella The Metamorphosis and Kovalyov in Nikolai Gogol's short story "The Nose". Throughout the novel, he describes the various sexual and physical feelings he has while people handle him, while initiating sex with his girlfriend, and while he is alone. During a stay on the beach with his girlfriend, Claire, Kepesh had wished to have breasts, to be a breast, and he struggles with the idea that apparently this wish was fulfilled while other more important wishes were not. - - - From BrillianceAudio.fail Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed. But where Kafka’s protagonist turned into a giant beetle, the narrator of Philip Roth’s richly conceived fantasy has become a 155-pound female breast. What follows is a deliriously funny yet touching exploration of the full implications of Kepesh’s metamorphosis—a daring, heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity. Technically at least, THE BREAST seems to me Roth's best book so far. The humor and pathos (it has fair amounts of both) come from his solid grasp of how life is, his firm knowledge of the importance of strength of character and the will to live... THE BREAST is terrific for a thing of its kind: inventive and sane and very funny, though filthy of course... It's incredible, in fact, how smart he is for a man so hung up with his you-know-what... "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, New York Times Book Review, 07/17/1972 "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 Philip Roth titles in the FPL: -Goodbye, Columbus +5 (1959) 5 readers -Letting Go (1962) Luke Daniels -When She Was Good (1967) Tanya Eby >>The Breast (1972) David Colacci -The Great American Novel(1973)James Daniels -My Life as a Man (1974) Dan John Miller -The Professor of Desire(1977) David Colacci -The Ghost Writer (1979) George Guidall -Zuckerman unbound (1981) George Guidall -The Anatomy Lesson (1983) George Guidall -The Counterlife (1986) George Guidall -The Facts: Autobio (1988) Mel Foster -Deception (1990) D Colacci & S Ericken -Patrimony (1991) George Guidall -American Pastoral (1997) Ron Silver -I Married a Communist (1998) Ron Silver -The Dying Animal (2001) Tom Stechschulte -The Plot Against America(2004)Ron Silver -Everyman (2006) George Guidall -Exit Ghost (2007) George Guidall -Indignation (2008) Dick Hill -The Humbling (2009) Dick Hill -Nemesis (2010) Dennis Boutsikaris
