The Professor of Desire (MP3 CD) (ISBN-13: 9798212383486)

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author comes thoughtful 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.

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 novel that "ranks among the major achievements in the literature of our time" (Village Voice).
