Description

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral: Like a latter-day Gregor Samsa, Professor David Kepesh wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed--into a 155-pound breast. What follows is "terrific...inventive and sane and very funny (The New York Times Book Review). A deliriously funny yet touching exploration of the full implications of David Kepesh's metamorphosis--a daring, heretical book that brings us face to face with the intrinsic strangeness of sex and subjectivity.
