Condition: Very Good

Description: First edition. A few faint spots on boards, front jacket flap creased, two light creases on rear flap. 1977 Hard Cover. 263 pp. 8vo. "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.

Description: First edition. Tiny stain to upper jacket spine. 1977 Hard Cover. 263 pp. "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 menage a 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.  'Philip Roth is a great historian of modern eroticism. . . . [He] speaks of a sexuality that questions itself; it is still hedonism, but it is problematic, wounded, ironic hedonism. His is the uncommon union of confession and irony. Infinitely vulnerable in his sincerity and infinitely elusive in his irony.' - Milan Kundera

Condition: Near Fine

Description: This is a clean, tight book, unobtrusive ink stamp on front inside cover. An increasingly scarce work in collector's condition. 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. The reviews were fantastic: From the Village Voice: "Ranks among the major achievements in the literature of our time." From Time: "No one writing can juggle the somber and the ludicrous more adroitly than Roth." And from the inimitable Milan Kundera: "Philip Roth is a great historian of modern eroticism. [He] speaks of a sexuality that questions itself; it is still hedonism, but it is problematic, wounded, ironic hedonism. His is the uncommon union of confession and irony. Infinitely vulnerable in his sincerity and infinitely elusive in his irony".
