The Breast
Philip Roth
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
<p></p><p>David Kepesh wakes up one morning in the hospital, mysteriously altered. Through an endocrinopathic catastrophe of unprecedented proportions, he has been transformed into a 155-pound human female breast. Railing at the incomprehensible, he uses his intelligence to deny and resist the thing he has become. Ultimately, he must accept his fate. Philip Roths <i>The Breast</i> is a funny, fantastical story and a bizarre yet daring exploration of sex and subjectivity.</p>
